Strong Team, Weak team. But make sure that both teams work together at practices. Don't have them compete against each other.

Depends on what your aiming for if you load up one team then you will have a greater chance of having success for one team but anyone on the team that isn't loaded will be hurt and think they aren't good enough and there will be some hurt feelings. If you distribute evenly both teams evenly then you are more likely to have happier competetors but your highest placing team's rank is likely to drop. So it's your choice what kind of experiance you're going for.

Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats

at my school we have one team, we are all in it for fun, but we always go to state, and in the next 2 years we want to go to nats
