After having several farms of significant size for the last few generations of mining, I have finally switched sides and much prefer PoS now. I took a deeper look into the tech behind it and have been convinced that staking is a better idea as long as distribution was fair from mining

you got it wrong little buddy - there needs to be continual PoW.

there can be PoS to supplement that.

otherwise you are "relying on the good will" of humans again.

Here are two charts for you:

Nxt block generators


BTC block generators


Quiz of the day:
1. How many accounts/mining pools would be needed for each network to perform a 51% attack
2. Which one is more decentralized?  Grin

And don't bring up that "All stakes belong to the same person" argument again, because you can't prove it and it can also applied to bitcoin mining power.
