Centipedes or millipedes - which are the good guys?

They're both good in their own way. But I think you mean which ones eat
veggies and fruit?

It's easy to remember:
Millipedes have lots of short legs and smooth, round cross-sectioned
bodies, the easier to push through the ground and vegetation with. Are
vegetarians and eat your chilli peppers.

Centipedes have fewer, longer legs and flatter bodies. They often have
large visible mouthparts. All the better for running, chasing and biting
the slower vegetarians in the soil.
