I rather use my mighty stock RSS rocket that can send 200 ton payload to LEO, as it has the capability to send payload of reasonable mass to low Lunar orbit no problem. Even the SLS can lift more payload and also send payload to low Lunar orbit, provided it has lots of man-rated boosters. I usually cut on nuke use as it is seriously underpowered, fortunately, getting to moon from low Earth orbit is easy as it only requires decent amount of fuel efficiency and TWR. For Mars, it's a different story; Mars' gravity is way too strong(around 3.7 m/s^2 gravitational accel.) and coupled with thin atmosphere, landing is plain hard so I need big lander for this to work, and fuel efficient transfer stage if I wanted to send payload like lander and habitable service module to Mars and back, even if it means low TWR.
