Mountain Wave Question

I'm hoping someone can answer the following question. If you are caught in the downdraft of a mountain wave, are you better off using your best rate of climb speed or best angle of climb?

Best rate - most height in given time
Best angle - most height in given distance

I just can't put two and two together with this one.

Thanks guys.
