Same wheels, tires and gearing, same rider aboard; for outright speed, it’s the aero, provided you’re riding fast enough. For sustained speed over a century, it’s the one that fits you best.

I have similar physiology to the OP, and I like something a little bit taller and longer, like a Synapse compared to a CAAD13, so that I don’t have as much weight on my hands
I’m also partial to wider bars and longish stems with steeper head tube angles, but steering/handling feel is very subjective and rider-dependent
