Although there is very little in physical size these days.
Monocrystaline or Polycrystaline solar cells?
Let's say I don't care about size. I realise the poly's are less efficient per square metre, but if I had two "X" watt panels, one mono one poly, will they both put out the same amp level on a cloudy day or will one be better than the other? Also does Sun angle matter more on one type than the other?

Just make sure you're comparing poly vs. mono, and not amoprhous vs. crystalline (poly or mono)
Thanks for the replies. Yes comparing poly vs mono both crystalline.
Now that you mention amorphous, how do they compare? The ones I've seen are huge for the power output and I've heard their lifespan is shorter but getting better as technology advances. How do amorphous panels compare in lower light levels?
