I would say nether. I would want to be in a relationship that was full of passion but not drama. One that wasn’t boring or based on the “smart” choice. Why not be in a relationship thats the only one you could ever see yourself in.

First, I want to say that emotions cannot be deduced using reason and logic. We, as humans, simply will feel things without thinking it through. However, I do believe that there are indeed some relationships that are passionate and others that are based on reason. This is because relationships are just two people's choice to commit to each other; sometimes, the choice might be based on reason, while other times the choice will be based on emotion. Of course, there are also many relationships where that choice comes from a mixture of both emotions and reasoning. Ultimately, it is up to you to choose what type of relationship you want. Very complicated but passionate relationships can still work, as long as the people involved stay committed to each other and want to work on it. Some people, though, will prefer simple relationships based on reason. It is up to you.

I think it is the most beneficial for each individual to be in a simple relationship based on reason. It sounds like a "very complicated" relationship has constant underlying tension. There could be many reasons as to why a relationship is considered to be complicated, but a relationship should ideally be more joyous, authentic, and wholehearted as opposed to tense and complicated. While experiencing passion can be important in a relationship, it doesn't always equal a healthy relationship. Our society seems to sometimes mistake feelings of toxicity and unhealthy patterns for passion. We must maintain connections that are healthy for us.
