Lords, because they were higher up the feudal tree.

Feudalism is simply the exchange of land (fief), between the nobles (lords) and the knights (vassals) for military protection.
I think that lords benefited more from feudalism because of the system of promises between the lord and the vassal. The vassal would not only protect the lord, but also help the lord in daily life, such as contributing money if there was a special occasion happening with the lord.

Eurpean feudalism is where there is a monarch who gives fiefs of land to lords an vassals, who in turn give land to peasants and knights. You could call it a higherarchy.
the lords, knights, kings, queens, serfs, and freemen got it the best
Yes, that was in the time of feudalism, where the lords (nobles) granted feifs (land) to the knights in exchange that the knight would fight in battles for the lord.
Feudalism give the nobles land from the lords in exchange for military protection from the knights who were usually sons of the nobles. Feudalism gave some stability to the nobles in a what was a violent era.
It's hard to pinpoint a narrow anthropological definition of the feudalism system, so for the purpose of this question I'm going to assume you mean the classic definition of the feudalism system, which was in effect in Europe during the Middle Ages. In my opinion, the knights did depend on the lords, but the lords also depended on the knights; it was a mutually beneficial relationship. The knights were given the task of fighting for the lord, whether it be defending the estate or attempting to seize other land. In return for their services, the lord would give them land that they could live on and work. The knights were essential to the lords because the knights offered the lords protection from exterior forces. So yes, the knights did depend on the lords for fief, or land, but the relationship was mutually beneficial if anything.
