That's good for setting the seat angle, but meaningless for the fore/aft adjustment.

However, results rule. The right post is the one that gets the saddle where the OP needs it by calculation, rule of thumb or personal preference.

If either post can do that, the tie breaker would be factors like no-shim fit to the frame, weight, cosmetic, etc.
