Intelligence proves to be greater because in all cases strength is against them. Smaug is unassailably strong. The orcs outnumber them at every turn (strength in numbers). Beorn is strong but it takes the intelligence of Gandalf to garner it.

In my opinion, intelligence.

Thorin could have prevented dispute between the elves and the men, but being too proud and thinking they(the dwarves) were too strong led to his downfall. He could have used 'intelligence' to realise that an allegiance would prove useful and just share the long stolen treasure of his fathers. This is just one of the examples.
