I think the individual act of suicide bombing is more courageous, but, put together with the months of intensive brainwashing, plus those actually responsible hiding in the shadows training these young men (and sometimes women), and never showing their faces in true combat - that totality, that is the height of cowardice.
I agree with your last paragraph.
