I think robots are the better options tbh.

1. They don't need life support that amount to 2000% active mass. Maybe 20% since we can still count solar panel as their life support.

2. They are far far far more sophisticated than what they used to be. Especially with modern processors. We can even embed some level of AI decision making onto these robots so they don't need to call back home for every decision.

3. They are far cheaper and can tolerate far lower safety margin. We can potentially even mass produce them and launch 50 at a time.

Imagine if we're just throwing a bunch of rovers on moon and each of them are capable of suicide burn and landing themselves. Maybe 2/10 will fail but we still get 8 rovers that can just roam the moon for fun.
