It's a bit of a mixed bag for unofficial patches up to 1.03.24. Whilst many of the classes have been balanced well (except the Thief, though at least that one was always terrible), certain races have either been eliminated from competitve play (mainly the Wood Elves) or not been changed at all (such as the Dwarves, which are quite useless in the metagame). 1.03 wasn't perfect by any means either. Many of the classes were unbalanced as well as some of the races (such as the Barbarian Chieftain). I would think both patches are similar in terms of their balancing.

However, there is another choice, albeit one which has its own unique problems. I worked with ESPee to create a new 1.03.25 unofficial patch, but some coding problem causes slowdown for certain computers unless Particles is turned down to Minimum. Aside from that issue though, It really isn't difficult for me to say that 1.03.25 is far more balanced than 1.03 or 1.03.24. You can check out the changelog here. I'm not saying everyone will like 1.03.25, but I (and dare I say many others) believe it to be a significant upgrade to Warlords Battlecry 3.
