Intuitively to me Monty Carlo would be better. Monty Carlo rocks. Intuitively to me intelligent design is going to beat genetic programming. It's the constants and knowing which intelligently designed algorithm is better that is impossible to know, which Monty Carlo solves. Look at the antenna designed on Wiki and think how easy that would be with Monty Carlo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm#:~:text=The%202006%20NASA%20ST5%20spacecraft%20antenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm#:~:text=The%.... John R. Koza book was 1992, computational power now allows us to smash things. Here's a comparison at a wind farm design between Monte Carlo and genetic algorithms (Monty Carlo was better) - https://rera.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_2146_5e7bee97938fcd513bbb87aab3d5a24a.pdf https://rera.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_2146_5e7bee97938fcd513... But it's really interesting, have fun looking into it.
