I am not trying to discuss whether one group is stronger than the other. In fact, I believe that those with kekkei genkai are stronger for the fact that it is in their blood to have very specific, and usually very powerful abilities.That's counter to everything we've seen so far in the manga. Those with kekkei genkai are usually so proud of this feat that they maintain strict training and exclusive physical regimes to protect their techniques.
Also, clans with kekkei genkai tend to be wiped out and destroyed by clans without it because the world at large is so afraid of their abilities.
So, I don't think it makes them weaker than clans with hiden techniques. It makes them stronger and more likely to be hated and discriminated against.
Rather, I am discussing which group would potentially have a harder time training their bodies for their abilities. In this case, I believe that hiden jutsu users have more hurdles. Yes, those with kekkei genkai also train their traits, but that is just it. All they have to do is train them. Those with hiden jutsu have to make their bodies suitable to use their techniques, and only then can the training begin.
It is written in the genetic code for an Uchiha to unlock the sharingan. This fact does not change whether they are actually able to unlock it or not. It is NOT in the Akimichi genetic code to be able to release insects from their bodies, nor is it in the Inuzuka genetic code to be able to smell well enough to track a target blinded. Their bodies must be prepped before they can utilize these techniques, and I am sure the means are highly demanding. Kekkei genkai users also do not have to protect their techniques in as much as they must protect their body parts.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say, despite my apparent inability to explain it well.
