Got to keep in mind the historical truths of war. These are documentable but unmeasurable. There are very few exceptions to these three rules.

1. Low tech always wins in the end.
2. Northern army always wins.
3. The least flashy uniform always wins.

Any war, any time period, eventually that's how it pans out.

Not sure how rule 2 applies in space but the other two give the original Star Trek the nod again.
