Neither or both. Potentially, the most useful would be the C208 driver. But I'm not from Human Remains. So the answer is academic. I can still remember a distant relative who was Chief Pilot of a (now defunct) shiny corporate airline telling me that he couldn't consider me as I didn't have any "Glass time." Now having 6,000 hours glass time, I know this requirement to be complete and utter . If invited to his funeral, I'll pitch up with a can of petrol to make sure the was really dead.

From a pilot's perspective, I'd employ the guy I could have a beer with because almost anyone can be trained to push the buttons. But I'm not the who advertises for "people who will play a pivotal role." But at the moment, those with extensive type experience (or those with deep pockets) will get the jobs. Who said life was fair?
