In terms of speed of production, efficiency and cleanliness/smell, quality of compost, and most of all, safety, which is better, composting with worms, or letting it decompose via thermophilic bacteria?

vermicompost contains worm poo which gives that compost the higher rating as far a quality goes…. it’s made in smaller batches, with more easily digested tidbits so happens faster… as long as ratios are controlled smell is of no consequence in either method….
to me, vermi is for folks with greenhouse/potted houseplants and regular composting is for gardens…. vermi could’nt keep up with the needs of my suburban plot…..
