Whichever you study harder.
Personally, I don't usually play gambits. You'll take my pawn from my cold dead hand...
King's gambit vs Queen's Gambit
Sort:
It's comparing apples with oranges
Positional versus tactical.
One is not better then the other, there is no "refutation" for the King's Gambit either. Bobby Fischer tried to bust the KG but did not succeed.
The Queen's Gambit is one of the best, most correct openings in all of chess. The King's Gambit is a surprise weapon, at most.
1...e5 gives equality?
I get what you're trying to say, but Black is far from equal in the Ruy Lopez.
The fact that the Queens gambit is basically the "official" Queens pawn opening and is played far more often should say something. If black plays well enough in the kings gambit, there's no guarantee that white will even get compensation. That being said, I have infinite respect for anyone who plays the kings gambit as their main opening. That takes guts people.

For positional play or classical play QG is the best and this is very common in all levels of chess. KG and other gambits are not for the faint of heart . there is latvian gambit and elephant gambit and other dazzling gambits. those are for those who loves to take great risks and know how to seize the initiative the best. but KG should be played with exteme care as not to lose immeadiately.
