I've seen good 11x14's from Royal Gold 100 35mm, and good 11x14's
from Elite II 100 slides (printed on Ilfochrome, using an Apo-Rodagon
50mm - amazing results!). From looking at slides and color negatives
directly with a 10X magnifier, I'm of the opinion that slide film
tends to be sharper in the slower speed films than color negative
film, but I have done no side-by-side comparisons...

Neither - the resultant resolution will always be lower than either,
and improving either will improve the resultant resolution...
