Gyro, your question is too hypothetical. You are basically asking if the performance (in terms of energy required to do work) of two gear arrangements would be different if the only difference were that one setup had a third more teeth than the other, and assuming same diameters, same mass, same amount of friction. Clearly they would perform the same under those circumstances. The affect of teeth size will likely alter things that your hypothetical question dissallows: at a minimum, friction and smoothness of operation. The finer tooted system is likely to be more efficient in the real world.
