I'd use both, and let my own morals decide my actions.
They actually do have people in Star Wars that do this, such as the Grey Jedi.
Jedi and Sith are both extremist idiots, and both have made HUGE mistakes.
Jedi: Kotor's Mandalorian War: Caused chaos that continued for hundreds of years, all because the Jedi Council decided it would try to stay away from the fighting. If they had actually supported the Republic, it's a good guess they would've been able to keep Revan from turning dark, or at least stopped him before he found the Star Forge.
Sith: Um, just about everything they've done, ever.
My feelings exactly. The worst part about the Jedi is the countless students of theirs have fallen to the Dark Side, and rather than think that this might be because of their code being flawed and trying to fix it, they blame the person instead. As a result it's been happening, over and over and over again for as long as the Jedi Order has existed.
The flaw in their thinking is they condemn any emotions whatsoever, and they don't teach their students how to deal with it, so when they inevitably feel emotion, it overwhelms them and they go completely overboard with it, turning to the Dark Side.
As for the Sith, they just do evil for evil's sake and without any thought as to what their actions might lead to. Thus, they continuously do stupid things that cause them to lose time and time again. Palpatine was probably the only exception, seeing as he used his guile to conquer the galaxy, but even he ultimately succumbed to Stupid Evil and lost everything, and if you count his EU resurrection it happened
twice!
They're already flawed as is with their tendency toward Stupid Evil, but their backstabbing ways often results in wasted manpower and killing off somebody in the worst possible time, plus the idea behind it doesn't actually work. The idea is that apprentice kills the master makes them stronger as a whole which is good on theory but not in practice. What it results in is the Master seeking to avoid their deaths is too paranoid to teach their apprentice much of anything, while the apprentice rarely if ever kills their master by straight combat, it's usually through trickery. Both result in the apprentice not learning everything their master has to teach and thus actually getting
weaker with each generation.
OT: For me, my morality would be much like it is now, I wouldn't have any. I'd do what I think is the smart thing to do in any situation as I do IRL, which would probably mean I'd lean towards the Dark Side ultimately, and I'd use Force Powers as needed, probably Dark Side for offense, Light Side for defense, in short, as the situation warrants. So I'd be Grey with a little Dark in me.
