a long string of 8/9 ball wins or a semi-decent straight pool run. my straight pool run usually maxes out at 10-12 against other people because i don't care, i'm hoping to get it to 50+ by myself with other people watching.
which is better?

Depends on the player, and the era.
40 years ago the pros had 14.1 high runs that most current pros could only hope to achieve. The fact is that 9-ball is the game today. Given that, perhaps right now it migh be more impressive if someone posts a 400 (+) run in straight pool. It seems all the top pros have strung together 8+ racks at one time or another, playing 9-ball. But how many have run 300+? Very few I'd imagine.

is it possible to count a run in 9 ball by going break and run many, many times? i'm sure some people have done that in tournaments and what not...
In a word? No.
