Task Complexity in Crowdsourcing

In crowdsourcing, some tasks involve minutes, others take few seconds; some tasks are complex, while others are very simple; many users prefer transcribing, while others would rather select the option from a list. Which of these alternative ensure a better quality in the crowdsourcing result? Which option can be executed in a shorter time?
