THG,

Your question...
"which one is more important: launch angle of the hit or the players energy to the ball."

Very well said. But why do we need to choose? I believe both are equally as important.

Hitters should incorporate both principles in their swing to achieve the ultimate goal. High percentage contact with Powerful energy through the ball.

Does this make sense?
