Fuel...

There really can be no clear winner, as it would most certainly depend on the fuel quantity state while the aircraft was on the ramp.
IE, max fuel, wing tip lower.

On the 707-320B (advanced) it was on the order of 6 feet.
More on the 747, would be entirely possible

And, in case anyone wanted to know, the maximum deflection of the wing tip on the long body 707, without structure deformation was...22 feet.
