Either one of those breeds, or a crossbred pig from those two breeds, would make a nice market pig. However, it's not just about which one has more meat. There are other conformation characteristics that make a prize winning pig. It will also depend on where you buy your pig from, as even the same breed from two different breeders can have differing results in a show.
