Dropping packets can potentially do the most damage because it completely blocks incoming traffic from the attacker, effectively denying them access to the target network. Limiting suspicious traffic to a certain percentage of total bandwidth may slow down the attacker's attempts, but it still allows some traffic to pass through and potentially exploit vulnerabilities.
