A good team is better than being alone. A bad team... well, I'll take alone any day over that.

Exactly. A bad team just destroys productivity for the most part. You generally won't get any answers you seek in a reasonable fashion if the team is bad enough. In that instance you might as well work alone.

Not good and not bad. I wouldn't compare the two as it's a false dichotomy. Just as some tasks are better done in pairs, others are better done alone. You can work as part of a team, but also individually.
