If you had to use WMDs,Nuclear weapons may be better for the people who are vaporized within the blast radius, but I dont think someone who had their skin melted and is dying of radiation poisoning feels lucky by not getting gassed.
Both are horrible and should only be used in the most dire of circumstances.

But we all know how much attention we pay to the UN...
I do believe that VX nerve agent is still the deadliest."The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes." G-Man

H is not as toxic as the nerve agents. Nerve agents kill you quickly; H causes incapacitating chemical burns from which many recover after convalescing for several weeks. I have heard it argued that H is more potent from a military standpoint because one "dose" of nerve agent kills one soldier whereas one "dose" of H burns one soldier, which requires two of his buddies to carry him back to the hospital where a doctor, two nurses, and five orderlies will take care of him for weeks; the "score" is nerve agent: 1 person off the front line, H: 11 people otherwise occupied.A grain of wheat eclipsed the sun of Adam !!

That's the whole "wounding rather than killing" theory. Mustard gas and other blistering agents go under that category too.
And I agree, against a modern army with proper protective clothing chemical and biological warfare is now pretty much useless."The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes." G-Man

VX is the most deadly chem agent. It kills very quickly in a terribly violent manner.
Bio weapons are potentially much, much worse. In some ways, even much worse than nukes. This is probably why no one has ever used them in warfare. The risk is simply too great.

Biological warfare is far more uncontrollable than chemical warfare, especially with highly infectious pathogens like plague."The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes." G-Man
