[opensuse] private key/ public key over ssh vs just using a password

Hello, Just had an interesting argument concerning the security of using a private key / public key combination over ssh and no password vs simply using a username and password over ssh (or sFTP) and accepting the RSA key fingerprint of the host. Anyone have any hard facts (sources) on which is more secure or are both equally secure and why?
