Younger academics Vs. Life Experience

This is a semi-theoretical question that has tickled my curiosity.

Say you have 2 candidates for a flying job who objectively are equal on Aptitude tests and sim checks etc.

[COLOR="Lime"]A, Is a recent graduate who started on an integrated course and holds a fATPL maybe aged 23 / 24.
[/COLOR]
or

B, Is late 20's but has done some months backpacking, worked a few years on lates and nights, seen a bit of the world but worked to see it and gone modular.

Who would you choose and why?

p.s. no I'm neither of the above.
