Wow, that is a hard question.

Here are my thoughts. There are typically a lot more spores produced per spore-creating plant than seeds by seed-creating plants. And there is a limited amount of space for things to grow. Of course, spore plants are usually much smaller (in modern times).


But there are so many confounding factors that I don't think the question is answerable. Some seeds can grow after being buried for a thousand years. Some seeds are "designed" to be eaten, so there are tons produced.


Another important point is that all seed plants also make spores which mature into "mini-plants" which are the ones who ACTUALLY have "sex" and produce seeds. If you want to know more, you should read about alternation-of-generations.
