If you fill in with wheel size and chainring tooth count, I can tell you which one I’d prefer - for a certain type of riding.
YMMV.
Neither is better by any generally agreeable definition.

It appears that you are the indesisive one AtNjineer. The good furm members here can't properly help you choose which is the correct gear without further info. If you don't know, or don't care to share, this information, then just make your own choice and live with it.

That's roughly 35% difference between the two. I'd say the 23, Learn to spin.

Given the forum posted in... 23 bc electric motors prefer to spin fast, and can provide more consistent torque to the wheel and cog which causes more and faster wear on smaller cogs. So gear appropriately using a little larger chain ring ... And so on... and with a hub motor in front instead, what I just wrote won't really matter so choose the least expensive option.
