I think you may be trying to introduce too much logic and rationality into the question :) Fundamentally, I and the person with whom I was arguing, have a personal preference for the different items. Rather than sensibly agreeing to differ, I am hoping to drum up support for my choice, which will somehow demonstrate that his preference is wrong[*]. Obviously, I haven't told him I'm doing this, so if his comes out top I shall just quietly drop the subject.
I think the best ham tends to be bought and prepared yourself. A lot of supermarket ham is dire, though sometimes the posh-end brands or stuff from the butcher can be pretty good. So it probably is easier to acquire nice ham than nice pork. However, as I say, this was never about producing a sensible piece of reasoning :)
[*] My defence is that he started it on Sunday at the carvery, by telling me I'd ordered the wrong thing and was an idiot.
