Here is how I understand it:
Torque is all the low rpm/low end power, Horsepower is all the high rpm/high end power.
I like torque... not having to really rev my engine that much to move is better than having to rev to 6k to get any power...
I would say lots of torque is better to have than lots of hp... *shrugs*
