I have posted a reply to this particular question up thread. 
Basically how many Aurors do we actually know of in existence, by the 
end of book four? Why, so few mentioned alive and so many mentioned 
as victims of the DE during the darker times and soon after. I would 
say the MOM simply had a lot less faith in Aurors to handle Lord 
Voldemorts followers. However that their numbers may be larger than I 
have assumed.  
On the other hand the Dementors had kept the infamous Black quite 
contained for upwards of a decade. Dementors, therefore, stand out as 
the more competent protection against Death eaters than Aurors. Fudge 
of course fears more for his own life than for Harry's. So 
endangering the students of Hogwarts is an elementary risk as far as 
he is concerned to protect the wizard world from the "treacherous" 
Sirius Black. Easy equation.
