It's weird. Whatever the opponents, in my opinion, both AK and QQ are actually the same as flipping a coin, so the question arises what in this case can depend on the opponents?

I totally get your love for QQ! It’s one of the most reliable hands in poker and statistically edges out AK in coin flips. Personally, I lean towards QQ in most situations because of its consistency and ability to dominate weaker hands. However, I’ll admit, there are spots where AK’s flexibility (especially in tournaments) makes it my go-to hand – like when I need fold equity or when I’m shoving in late-stage play.
In the long run, QQ is likely more profitable, but it all depends on the dynamics. For example, deep stacks and multi-way pots? Definitely QQ. Short-stacked in a tournament? AK might be the better play.
How about you – do you always play QQ aggressively, or do you ever slow-play it depending on the table?

It's easy to answer the QQ, it's already a pair formed and the AK, they're only high cards. Then see in the ranking of plays who has the greatest weight. The AK can be knocked down by 22, or any other pair on the table.

It happens, I call them work accidents, but you have to know that you can't always win the flips, it's green or red, it depends on chance and the opponents. I prefer QQ more also AK I can throw in the bubbles.

QQ is the best option. I would prefer QQ. There are still a little more chances, and this is the decisive factor in this choice.

Another draw, the ev says one thing, the result is never guaranteed. Have seen KK get crushed so often, it's hard not to fold, from past losses. Depends on the situation, normally, I'd play KK fairly strong. But if I'm on the bubble, KK is not to be trusted. Either play smartly or fold

QQ against just one AK is favourite, but against two or three other hands, whilst it may still be technically favourite (in other words it has the best odds) the chances of actually winning are decreased (but against that the potential winnings are increased of course). On the opther hand a friend oof mine told dme he had lost with QQ no fewer than 22 times in a row.
