They are both good and have different benefits- a good idea would be unsalted mixed nuts with peanuts- that way you get a well rounded nutification.
"Cashews, with about 45 grams of fat per 100 gram serving (at least a quarter of which are monosaturates) and a particularly high carbohydrate content for a nut at about 30 grams/100gram portion, are an excellent an sustaining energy food. And they have goodly amounts of protein - 17grams/100gram serving. They are also very high in magnesium, having only slightly less than almonds."
"Whole peanuts are a very important human food. Peanuts are very high in protein ( 25 grams per 100gram serving) of good quality. They are a very good source of energy, with 50 grams of fats and 16 grams of carbohydrates per 100 gram serving. About half their fat content is monounsaturated fats, about a third are polyunsaturated, and the remaining about fifth are saturated. Of the polyunsaturates, only a passing small amount is omega - 3. Peanuts are a very good source of niacin (B3), with a healthy 112 mg/100 gram serving. They also contain vitamin E (8mg/100gms). Nuts in general, and peanuts in particular, are high in the bioflavonoid 'resveratrol'. This bioflavonoid is also found in red wine and is believed to help prevent the formation of arterial plaques. Peanuts have more resveratrol than grapes."

I don't have the health answer but Cashews are the bomb! I know unsalted are healthier than salted but the salt is the best part! That's like taking the sugar out of cotton candy! Pretty soon they'll be making organic cotton candy. Ha-Ha!!

Peanuts. eating peanuts or even peanut butter is equivalent to eating a serving of meat a day which is almost a major nutrient for your body.

Peanuts, because they chocolate covered and cheaper.
