Kaladim and Ak'anon both have one small entrance and are underground making them easier to defend against Magic. It would be like trying to break the spartan 300 if you were trying to invade either of these cities. Imagine the tinkered booby traps the gnomes would lay within their city if anyone was ever able to penetrate the outer entrance... That being said I don't think either of them would be able to mount much of an offence.
Gnomes would have an easier time as they would have spell casters
Erudites would be a lot easier to conquer if you think about it from a lore perspective. Sure they could turn off their port pads and live off of loaves of black bread and water flasks their magicians summoned, but they would never do that because they feel they are a superior race to all others in the world and deserve more. It would only be a matter of time before they turned those pads back on and came out for some higher quality foods/wine and get steamrolled by anyone occupying their outer city.
I'm going with Gnomes, easy to defend home city and all the knowledge and classes (warriors, healers and caster) they would need to mount an attack on opposing cities.
