All things being equal, I'd go for the wider tire, which, of these two, also has the higher maximum pressure. Obviously cost is a consideration, but if the two are in a similar price range, and have similar smooth treads it's a no-brainer.

Here's a link to an article that will give you some insight in choosing the best tire width and pressure for your weight.
