Interesting V1 performance conundrum

Ppruners with a penchant for performance related questions, this is one is for you...

This hypothetical V1 question is being asked by a reputable company to prospective candidates, and I am interested in knowing what you think -(I appreciate that the company in question is more likely to be interested in the factors and issues raised by the question than a definitive answer):

(Credit goes to to Ppruner 'flyingmogul' for raising it first)

'Which is better: failure 10 kts before V1 and continue T.O or failure 10 kts after V1 and abort T.O?'

No assumptions are made or given, so please feel free to elaborate on your answers and vary the variables either way (e.g wet runway, dry runway , high Vmcg, balanced field, 2/3/4 eng. aircraft etc...)

Answers on a postcard...
