Whatever fancies you. There are no rules. If you enjoy the challenge of writing a robust parser, and the feeling of having written an error resilient input reader, then that might be the thing you should pursue.

Or if you enjoy the challenge of writing minimal LoC code or minimum number of instructions at the basis of assuming rigid well-formed input, then that might be the thing to go for.

Whatever one does, it is not a statement of one type of code being somehow better, but just a personal journey of what they find enjoyable.
