Racoon ran in front of car...gonna be expensive

Other than the odor I'd say that I'd rather have hit the skunk (or more likely missed the skunk). Skunks have a much lower profile than a racoon and might not have caused any damage (ask me how I know this, it has to do with walking dogs)

Obviously a lower profile, but I'd say a much higher challenge of odor elimination.

From a repair cost perspective; skink
From a continuation of pleasurable interior space; raccoon.

Lingering, hard to remove skunk makes the BO car in the Seinfeld episode seem like a rose.

 
Unless the skunk lets go while your gravity was over the skunk the odor should not be a problem except for a few minutes. I saw a skunk waddling across the road once and was amazed how low profile it was (fortunately I saw the skunk before the dogs saw/smelled it so I could brace for takeoff, one time they saw a skunk and took off after the skunk and I wasn't ready and they ran after the skunk. The two dogs came after the skunk from opposite sides so at least only one dog got sprayed, but the spray was a direct hit to the face)

Hitting an animal is considered the animals fault just FYI
