VQE vs QAOA: Which is better for Optimization?

I've been benchmarking both on Max-Cut problems. QAOA seems more robust to noise, but VQE converges faster for chemistry problems. Let's compare results.

I've implemented a scaled-down version of Shor's for factoring 15. The modular exponentiation step is definitely the trickiest to optimize on real hardware.
