Which is more difficult to over come, Hard over rudder or rudder missing?

The recent A310 rudder loss brought a question to mind.

Which condition is harder to overcome inflight?
A hard over or nosed over rudder?
or
A rudder that has completely broken away?

In each case, they have been known to cause "accidents",
but I would be curious to know your personal experiences if you have had to deal with either problem or what your preference would be?
