This submission has been removed because it violates the rule on poll-type questions. These poll-type questions do not lend themselves to answers with a firm foundation in sources and research, and the resulting threads usually turn into monsters with enormous speculation and little focussed discussion. “Most”, “least”, "best" and "worst" questions usually lead to vague, subjective, and speculative answers.

For questions of these types, we ask that you redirect them to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.

Hard to make a comprehensive answer, but you really wouldn't want to land on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; their soldiers were by and large quite poorly equipped, starving to death was very likely, disease was rampant in overcrowded camps, and anyone captured by the Qing Dynasty's forces will almost certainly be executed.
