Hmmm... with this new rule of no tyre stops for the entire race... id have to say control tyres. If say either Michelin or BS fail to meet the demands of the new rules and then with the limitation on testing days... the season would be a disaster for the team using the tyre companies... with spins and punctures etc. while in 2003 where the tyre war made the season competitive the teams could atleast switch their sets of tyres and score a few points.
the limitation on testing then would mean that the companies would not have the required time to improve...

hence with the control tyre route... a disadvantage for one team would be a disadvantage to all...
