As to which turns out "better", I guess maybe we'll see as FBW spreads beyond A&B - already in Embraer I think, and filtering down to the bizjets. Have they chosen A-style or B-style ? [I don't know, haven't looked].
Take a look at this article from Flight Global about the Legacy 500 Bizjet: Boeing inspects 787s after aft fuselage composite delamination - FlightBlogger - Aviation News, Commentary and Analysis
(Ignore the statement about Boeing 787-it really is about Embraer.)

Linked sidesticks, C* law but with softer protections in some areas, an AOA limiter, back driven autothrottles, and a different way of doing some things. Looks to be a very pragmatic approach.
