Using popular anime vs nonpopular

Do you think a person who uses a nonpopular or new anime in an amv has an advantage over the one who used a popular anime in competition? Do you believe the same applies to songs?

If you're talking about a popularity contest, yes.

Otherwise, not so much.

An AMV from a popular series has a certain advantage, simply because more people have an emotional connection with certain scenes due to the having previously seen the anime. However, a well-produced AMV trumps familiarity, and can actually lead to series becoming popular (what I like to called the '"Hold Me Now" Effect.' )

You also need to know the people you're talking about. Popular to whom? The people that only watch TV-aired dubs? The large portion of people that watch fansubs? As an example, Naruto vids were still pretty big years before it started airing in the US.
