Don't stress about it too much right now, there will almost certainly be a schedule change between now and August anyway. The flights you are looking at are a placeholder schedule.
That said, I tend to personally lean toward the longer connection to allow for IRROPS when I am connecting to a once-a-day only flight, but as you can see there's a mixed approach to that situation among posters here.
