Playing around with both and I'm thinking I like the oil wipe method for speed and results. What do you guys think?

Oh dear; I like both! Cracking painting :-*
-
The oil is good but the acrylic is brilliant.
-
I like both as well. :-* What color is the oil? Was the undercoat a black acrylic or primer?
-
I think its more a question of time,vs sheer number of figures you need to paint.As your more than happy with both method's.

The real difference between the two products is that oil is much slower drying and so is more suited to blending techniques - so as one shade move into another, the join is almost imperceptible (so it looks like the dark brown horse is oil) - while acrylic can't do this as well, but is very good for layering contrasting shades and highlighting quickly (I assume the horse on the left has had that technique) - so each require their own technique and get their own look - though in this example, both look rather fine and it would be hard to choose.

Both lovely examples....for myself I prefer using oil paint and start by painting a small batch of horses then set them aside for a few days to dry while I get to work on the riders....am pretty slow at painting,however,so drying time is not an issue and because oil paint stays wet for longer I find blending not only easier but more enjoyable....fine for small numbers but not sure how I would approach masses of cavalry

They both look nice, so either would work.
I think the one on the left is better, so whichever one that is.
In the end, it only matters which one you like better since they're yours.
