Recruiter, talent can make up for a lot. See Les Miles pre-Cam Cameron.

This. Orgeron was a lights out recruiter and we see how that worked out for him.

Elite Xs & Os... but preferably both... 
Good recruiting assistants can be hired with regularity... but have a consistent strategic advantage on the field is difficult to find. Hiring good coordinators is a crapshoot.

Depends on the style of coach. If you are going to be extremely hands on like Saban, then X's & O's, but you have to hire lights out recruiters on your staff.
If you are going to be hands off, then recruiter. Hire good x's and o's assistants.
I wouldn't say one is better than another.

Nutt just could not recruit.

Hmm, what about someone who is very good at both, but the media makes them out to be unbelievably good at both?
I'd take that one.

You have to have both IMO.
I think "Excellent Program Manager" is another category that could either be incorporated with lights out recruiter or put in as a separate category.

This by far for a head coach. Highly paid coordinators can make up the difference in coaching if talent is on the roster.

NFL: Elite with the Xs and Os because of level playing field
College: Lights out Recruiter because you need better players to win

Recruiters need a huge talent gap or weak schedules to win even at the best schools.
