Which Xbox360 controller should be more resistant, wireless or wired?

I have 10 and 11 year old cousins coming here alot, and they already screwed 3 of my Xbox's Controllers-S and it was due mainly to them being wired controllers (they damaged the cord in one of them and the other two was due damaged jacks). So i was wondering if in that regard a wireless controller would be more resistant, since there would be no jacks nor cord. It seems obvious that it would be a safer bet, but one other thing that happens quite frequently is controllers falling in the ground from several different heights (damageable heights). In that regard is the wireless controller for some reason the least resistant controller? What is your experience with former consoles' wireless and wired controllers?
 
The only problem I could foresee in a situation like that is dropping the wireless controller and the battery pack popping off.

Then again, in most cases, controllers fall off due to wire pulling, so it's kind of a moot point. Wireless get! :)

I just got my 360 last night at the zero hour event. Went to my friends place where he also had his but we brought out my controllers for split screen gameplay. I refused and avoided his little brother to even touch my controller. I just can't stand dirty greasy hands touching my controllers. Ever since N64 days...poor joy sticks =(

Greasy Contollers = the demon spawn of the devil. i always wash my hands before using my control's, somtimes even twice over just to make sure. Maybe be Obsesive, but oh well :)
