I am a BIG BIG fan of both!!
In the full resolution version of this Hubble Ultra Deep Field image there may be as many as 1000 galaxies, each with a billion or more stars. We've been learning that in our own galaxy, the majority of stars have multiple planets. So we're probably looking at about a trillion planets here. It would be hard for me to believe that none of them support intelligent life; it's just that they're too far away to communicate with (at least in our present understanding of physics).
