Strength in numbers.
Vulnerability = brain damage, otherwise ripped to pieces.
Werewolves - Kick a mean punch when transformed, with claws, teeth and muscle. When not transformed, a completely different creature. Full moon best suited, otherwise...?
Strength in strength, but (ONLY) when transformed. Out of transformation, maybe thinking, but not as cunning as the vampires.
Vulnerability = silver bullets, pretty easy fodder when out of transformation.
Vampires - Can use the night to their overwhelming advantage, intelligence, ability to think and chalk out strategies/plans, transform into bats, rats, fog, wind, can cause mass hypnosis, can cause damage during day time too IF they are not sleeping AND dodge the sunlight.
Strength in mind power, rational thinking, all of the above.
Vulnerability = sunlight, crosses/holy water, stakes driven through heart, might need to doze during day.
Even in a few numbers, I think the guys in cloaks with sharp canine teeth hold the aces here, even when facing werewolves in thousands, and zombies in millions.
I have to go against the flow. Vampires for me.

I think you gave the vamps an unfair advantage there.
I guess Vamps to me are only as smart as their human counterpart was before being turned. Same goes for the Wolves. I don't think becoming a Vampire automatically makes you "cunning" or "rational". Your senses will be heightened and you have new abilities but (in my mind at least) you don't automatically know the "Art Of War" just because your "sire" read the book.
Same for Werewolves, Lucian from Underworld wasn't a dumb Werewolf, he was pretty much smarter than all the Vamps. Same in lots of other movies. They may dumb down or become more animal like in The Wolf Man, but Lawrence Talbot was still an intelligent human being when out of transformation.
Going by your criteria V, I would give the edge to Vampires.
But if there are 10 Vampires in the center of a battlefield surrounded by 1 million fast vicious zombies in the style of WWZ. I'd take the Zombies.
