That doesn't matter either. DBZ is extremely dull and slow, even if you cut out every filler episode. The fights are not entertaining and it takes ages for something to happen.

Maybe. Either way, Kai would be the preferable anime to show out of the two, of course.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

The BOG arc has very few enemy and the end result is clear from the movie.
The question has been asked by you 10000000000 times and we have become very efficient.
I don't care about non canon stuffs like game, guide book, movie, etc
Spare the trouble because GT is CANON
Be quick and be done with it

I don't think the series' enjoyment comes from the typical dire consequences always looming. With Dragon Ball I feel its more about the journey not necessarily the destination which we know is always going to be "Goku/Vegeta/maybe Gohan saves the day". Yeah sometimes that journey is boring as fuck (for me its the fighting now, go figure) so having the dragon balls or some such taken away does add some excitement to hinder that but overall its not that kind of dramatic series which is fine. One can either accept that or watch something else to fill that void.
