Prime Minister Lama Su gives a pretty good insight into why Clones are preferable to droids
LAMA SU: They're immensely superior to droids, capable of independent thought and action.
As you can see throughout the shows, the clones are capable of cutting down dozens of droids for every clone casualty. Even when backed up by superior numbers, the droid armies are persistently pushed back by the Clone armies.
Speaking to the question of why the Republic doesn't have a large, standing droid army, the answer is that they rely on the Jedi to keep peace and order, something they've accomplished handily for a thousand generations. It's only in the few years of the Republic's existence that an army was suddenly needed. I think we can be reasonably sure that if the Kaminoans had offered a million-strong droid army, the Republic would have accepted that just as readily.
