A hybrid of the two ideas would have separate sensor and payload systems. The idea of a distributed omnipresent sensor net is a good one (assuming the multiple data feeds can be resolved into something comprehensible), but the drives for the sensor drones (long endurance, good sensors) are not the same as the drives for the payloads (cheap, blows up well). So why not go with a non-exploding pigeon network, which links back to home base (a dozen miles away, or in orbit) and calls in pinpoint missile strikes, giving them active updates all the way in to the target? This potentially lets you kill the low-tech guys even when they're mixed in with noncombatants.
