I'm going to say Cardio because it works your heart more. Which is the most important muscle I'd say.
For combat sports?
I would say cardio and/or conditioning with calisthenics/etc. It helps with energy, recovery, general physical preparedness, etc.
For general well-being or longevity?
Probably strength training. Some well known longevity researchers are coming to this conclusion.
Anything in moderation. Don't want to over bulk, but do need to work the muscles out, even at an older, mature age. Cardio is always good, but don't have to go overboard & just focus on that. Relaxing with a nice wine or beer is good, but once again...in moderationI'm going to say Cardio because it works your heart more. Which is the most important muscle I'd say.
More beneficial for what?
Depends on the goal and the person.
Cardio is generally better for overall health.
Strength is infinitely cooler though.
I otherwise sit in a chair all day long?If you had to choose between the two to exercise for the rest of your life. Which would it be?
Strongfirst is doing some really cool stuff with strength endurance and work capacity, which gives you all the benefits listed under both modalities. Simple & Sinister, Iron Cardio, their BJJ Fanatics program, and several other programs will get you strong as hell and let you be explosive for hours.I'm going to say Cardio because it works your heart more.

Biggest killer is Heart related issues in the world.strength and muscle mass is important as you age unless you don’t mind losing physical independence because you will atrophy
