What was deadlier?

Was the deadlier development the stick-shaker and attempted stall recovery or was it the scenario mentioned by Belgique at post 647?.
.
i.e. At the stick-shaker, adding full-power with a fully back-trimmed elevator (courtesy autopilot's back-trimming into that stall to hold the glideslope) would surprise the PF (upon autopiot disconnect) - and lead to a steep nose-up attitude and a sharp nose-drop at the stall. That would be unrecoverable at low altitude and (as a characteristic of a power-on stall) once nose-low, lead to performance-destroying g-stalls - due to the pilot's perception of ground-rush - once clear of cloud.
