I think you should pit them against each other as a tiebreaker... my money is on the terrier.

I had a Boston Terrier when I was growing up.....Sparky was a great dog, and phenomenally spoiled. He slept in the bed, got all kinds of food that he shouldn't, and generally went wherever he wanted. Made up for it by getting me tons of girls in HS, though.

Terriers are ugly and lame. Great Danes FTW!
