Pick by job before comparing power
Need Food? Start with a Worker. Need route protection or combat? Use Majors or Drones. The available public material does not support a numerical winner between the two fighting roles.

The public role map is short and useful: you are the Queen, Workers handle Food, and Majors plus Drones handle fighting. Exact stats are not publicly listed.
