Is it better to be Feared or Loved?

Feared, more but loved sprinkled in just a bit. Need to know when to apply the right amount of fear than show love and crank back up the fear factor.
If you need to govern people fear for sure. Like a business, you will get dethroned with quickness if you govern by love.
You want to see people kick into gear and get stuff done toss that fears of a losing something that they care about. Like their job! Fear has governed some of the most powerful countries and some of the most powerful companies on this planet. Fear hands down!

Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

Love simply lasts longer than fear.
It’s better to be you and not change for anyone

Being loved because it’s coming from a genuine place. Being feared only make people fight or flight and most of the time they fight, hence you’re making yourself a bigger target. I’ve never feared no one because what?
Maybe I'm jaded, but in my experience "love" only extends to how useful you are to that person(s). Eventually, when your light dims, the corners you once illuminated darkens. Look how how well a celebrity is "loved," only for those same people to celebrate their downfall. Love breeds envy.
Like others said, fear paints a neon target on your back. Once you misstep the wolves will strike.
Respect is the middle ground I'd go for, but in the end a mix of all three are necessary to protect your own interest. I always say expectations are the roads to disappointment. Don't expect anyone to truly have your back and be the prepared man/woman to completely be above getting betrayed or caught reacting.

Feared, brutal but always fair and effective/efficient
Love is fleeting and easily forgotten, fear lasts much longer
People really only care what you're doing for them not what you've done
"Men have less scruple in offending one who they love than one who they fear, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity when their self-interest intervenes; but fear preserves you because a dread of punishment never wanes.”
Hatred is another thing entirely, generally hatred only begins when people have nothing else to lose
