I would invest in the spider-legged robot to crawl around spaces.
I think human physiology is amazingly multi-purpose, but we don't need to compromise on balanced skills with robots. Every action can have a physiologically tailored robot to do it. Sure, I can see that I would want my personal butler bot to be humanoid, but I think for the vast majority of cases, humanoid is not the optimal solution.
But I also suppose that if I was going for wooing the general public, I would go humanoid for sure. People compare technology against science fiction, not actual practical considerations.
