A lander with humans in it would have no better odds, probably worse as it would have to be MUCH larger than anything we've softed so far. We're not ready to send humans to Mars with any confidence they'll survive to walk out of the ship on their own power.

I'd also say, first build an livable infrastructure using robots, possibly underground, let it test run a bit to see that the air conditioning etc. work, and then send someone to live in it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
