Do many cinematics with good quality. That's my plan.

Yeah, but if it's not possible, then do like main cinematics are well made and optional stuff not that well made.

This, of course, is the ideal. But not an answer to my question
Thanks for contributing though. My plan is to make all the cinematics as good as I can.
Keep the comments coming folks.

Okay, if I were to choose from only those two, I'd pick the first one. Few good quality cinematics over many low quality cinematics.
Because the player would be really pissed off, if there are a lot of cinematics, and their quality sucks. It would make you think "Why did you even add cinematics in the first place?!" or something of the sort, while if you pick the first one, the players would think "Wow, what an awesome cinematic! I expect more to come," which makes players more eager to play your map, an awesome cinematic is a prologue to an awesome game.

Since I know you won't make them skippable, better make few good quality, so a player won't get bored when forced to watch a cinematic every 5 minutes.
I would even say, make rather few low quality cinematic than many low quality cinematics XD
