If you build an army with ponies to go for war. Which race would you choose?

If all of the races would be equipped the same and be the same in numbers? Tough Question. Not all Unicorns are as advanced as Twilight or Starlight are. So Battlemagic would be out of the Question. Earth Ponys are extremely strong but bound to the earth. Pegasi are pretty versatile in thier movement and can reach stuff faster that the other races might can't reach at all.

I would go with Pegasi. Thier Speed and Agility makes them perfect for flanking manouvers and suprise attacks from above.
There is a reason Celestia has them as her Royal Guard.

I'm going to go against the flow and choose Pegasi. First off, Pegasi can create the fortresses and bases of operation in the sky meaning that enemies would have a hard time to reach it. Second is the fact that Pegasi are naturally more speedy and agile meaning that dodging attacks would be easier. It also means that they would be able to quickly swoop down and attack. Plus there is the fact that Pegasi in general are more trained in the military field. It is a big part of Pegasus culture and they would most likely be the most fit for fighting. Now yes, the Unicorns have more potential power but if you think about it, very few Unicorns are actually master mages with tons of spells at their disposal. Whereas the average Pegasus can fly pretty well. So yes, I have faith that the Pegasi would make a very fine army.

Earth ponies would be at a disadvantage IMO, since it would most likely be more difficult for them to use modern weapons. Even if you could build a gun that could be operated by hooves, the earth ponies need their hooves to walk. 

Pegasus ponies on the other hand could use hoof-operated guns while flying, though I'm not sure how good they would be at avoiding anti-air guns. In addition, I doubt that the pegasus ponies could fly very far, fast or carry large loads, so they would appear to be less useful than airplanes. Manipulating weather and moving clouds seems great, but to do that you need to get close enough to the enemy who most likely has anti-air defenses.

Unicorns seem to be the most versatile of them. Operating machines with magic seems more convenient than just hooves and magic could also be used for defense (shield spells etc). Then there probably are spells for seeing enemies through walls etc. A unicorn in an airplane would probably be more effective than a pegasus. A unicorn in a tank would be at least as effective as an Earth pony in the same tank. 

So, if I had to choose one race, I'd choose unicorns.
