Hi Mockinator, I wish I can tell you my opinion which one is better looking, but I am afraid I do not know any of anime (or anything) you mentioned.
Are you all right with your friends now, Mock?
Your comment reminds me of something - not debating just one side nagging (bit off topic)
One day I went to a canteen/restaurant with my friend. Next to us there was a very young couple, the boy was talking/nagging the girl who was looking down and only saying "sorry" very few times.
Amazingly this went on even we had a meal and when we left, he was still telling off the girl.
What I thought this, then, I really really envied the boy's energy and passion whatever that was about.
