I would prefer the latter especially if it means a widebody and/or better meal service (e.g., full service vs snack/refreshment) due to the longer flight time.
Years ago, I had the option of SJC-ORD-BOS or SJC-LAX-BOS when the SJC-BOS wasn't feasible. The latter flight offered a better meal service and longer sleep time.
