Which one you believe has a better powerband?
Which one you believe will have more boost lag?
Which one would you chose to make 700whp?
In this scenario that you present, either motor could be used and in the same chassis, could do the same times. Just comparing maximum hp and tq figures mean nothing. You need to know the graph plot of the engine across the rpm range.

I'm not sure that you understand how horsepower and toque are measured an d how you utilize those measurement to plan usage of power output in a meaningful way.
