I will try to answer from a mechanical engineers view point.
If the gears are the same diameter; The ones with the fewer teath will require sligntly more power. The reason is that the teeth are thicker and the friction would be higher. The thicker teeth would however be able to transmit more torgue if the gears are the same width. the tradeoff is that the thicker teeth are not as smooth. Speed is another factor to consider.
I hope I have not gotten too deep in the "enginnering mode" and confused everyone.
