KIX or UKB to Osaka?

Any suggestions on whether there's any advantage to flying into UKB instead of KIX when travelling to Osaka?

We're looking to travel to Japan for a vacation and the best flight options we're pulling up are on ANA to UKB or KIX (both via HND). The transpacific flights are the same but there are two options for the second segment at the same price. The first is to head to UKB with a 1h45m stopover in HND while the second option is to head to KIX with a 2h30m stopover in HND; both arriving in the late evening (9-10pm'ish).

My current preference is the UKB option only because it will get us "near" Osaka 45mins earlier. On the surface, the travel time to Osaka from UKB and KIX seem similar.

Looking for guidance if there's any other things to consider like better/cheaper transportation options at one airport vs the other (we're likely going to train it into Osaka), less mayhem at one airport vs the other, etc.

TIA
