but here is the real key question
if you have the option to choose
between a BD or thorn warrior in your army what would you choose?

Depends on many things, sure plants arent good vs dragons. But i had fun with them in Red sands mod for Ap/Cw : cleared most of Verona and Montero with - Monstera(new plant unit in red sands), Royal thorns, Thorn hunters, fauns and Dryads. I played warrior and had crown of blackthorn, 2x(+1 dmg) and some bonuses to dryads. There were huge stacks of low lvl enemy in those locations and they are easy to control with dryad sleep and fauns. And steamroll with summoned units form monstera and royals, hunters were high dmg units with 3-5/8lds and nice crit%.
But after that i got to orc islands took Trigger and decided to go 100% crit with orcs+paladin and had fun also.
But all plan army whole game would be pain in ass to maintain, but doable i think. True dragon enemy would devastate you, so would fire room in tower of Eventus, but all in all 90% of game battles would be manageable (i`m not sure now but if monstera/royal thorns and hunter thorns are in archer group of units trigger would be great for them also + fauns = 4 range units for 100%, nice idea might try it out).
As for taking dragon army, true they are easy to keep alive, but also soooooo boring
I had version of shrek build and it was interesting to do, need : warrior, Moldok companion ,x2battle axe weapon in game, orc veteran , orc hunter , orc , paladin , 5th unit may vary (shaman, royal griffins-gets bonu from orc hunters, ...). Point is that all melee units have +$0%dmg and orcs great speed and initiative from Moldok, mass haste and in first turn your units are making havoc in enemy lines. With warrior counterstrike+frenzy skill it gets really interesting
4x dragon army +rune mages = great fun , shrek build also = fun , my mini shrek build also = fun ... there are great ideas and builds. 3x plan army with dryad/faun support is also fun to go but not whole game.
