I'm not sure such a dichotomy exists. It's true, I suppose, that a good story can be told without having high technical merits, but the technical rules (and I'm using "rules" in a loose sense, obviously) exist because these are the ways to tell your story
better. A well-written story (again, from a technical standpoint) is always going to be more enjoyable to read than an interesting story written poorly, if for no other reason than technical problems with the writing can take the reader out of the story, whereas god writing draws the reader in.
