Nopons > Porgs.

Nopons actually have a role in Xenoblade Chronicles Society. And Tora (XC2) is such an endearing character. He doesn't have the aptitude to be a driver? Don't give up, make an artificial Blade. 

Porgs are just made to sell toys. There is also that they were in the worst Star Wars film of all time, but mostly they are just there to sell toys. They don't teach anything worthwhile, and they don't have personalities.
