I voted for Goldilocks and the world's greatest non-team. Much as I loved the Silver and Bronze Age Avengers, they certainly came across as arrogant and unthinking in the Avengers/Defenders clash. They needed taking down a peg or two.
BTW Steve, are you going to review Defenders no. 11 ( "A Dark And Stormy Knight" )? Although mostly a weird tale of the Defenders fighting in the Crusades, it also features the epilogue to the Avengers/Defenders War.
I was in two minds as to whether to do Defenders #11, as it's not strictly a part of the Avengers/Defenders bust-up but, as I've had a request, I'll see if I can review it tomorrow.
I have fond memories of that story as I seem to recall reading it in a Marvel UK Rampage comic which I got second-hand from somewhere and it had a panel cut out.
I seem to recall Stan Lee commenting somewhere that the Hulk would always be his personal pick as victor in a face-off with Thor since the depth of human potential would far outweigh the resources and more limited scope of a god (!) While the logic may be debateable I guess it underlines the sweet faith in humanity that comes through in a lot of those early Marvels. Simpler, less cynical times...
