Great topic. The 2010 team at full strength probably looked more spectacular on the highlight reel, but the 2012 team is more steady and relentless. Either team could beat the other on a given night. The question is really who would win in a series, say best of 7.
 
To compare, you want to assume both teams are completely healthy. Don't forget that the 2010 team didn't play well for a long stretch after Wes took a bad fall in a home game --was it against Gtown on 1/25, or UConn 2/10?  Wes looked like he was back to 100% strength only in the second round of the NCAA tournament against Gonzaga, after AO was already gone. So to look at the 2010 team at full strength, you have to look at them mid-season right before Wes' injury. Otherwise it's not particularly close -- this year is a notch better.
 
Though the two teams are fairly comparable at full strength, I'd still vote for the 2012 team to win a best-of-7 series 4-3.  This year's team is far less turnover-prone, and they are far better able to absorb off nights from key players.
