opinions on vintage mtb frame: G.F. Comp vs Paramount Series 70

been looking for an old mtb frame for a commuter conversion (1 x N setup) and found some candies.
Gary Fisher (Comp '84-ish, i guess) or Paramount Series 70 '92-ish.

if similar price + within the reach + workable size, what would it be?
both has similar, relatively short chainstays.

GF has rear canti bosses under the chainstays (unique?).
Paramount has a better aesthetic condition, GF is with a bit rough paint but no rusties.
guess both are made of Tange Prestige.

one questionable thing is where the GF's ST is welded to the BB. looks like it's forced to be oval shape. is it an ordinary thingie?

any opinions, insights or experiences appreciated.
