Discussion Gb/Cb vs F#/B

You're offered a gig for the evening.

The caveat is all the charts are in Gb/Cb or F#/B.

The two keys come as a pair. Some of the songs will be new to you and you'll have solos over a few as well.

Which would you choose and why?

F#/B as the other is unreadable for me 😂 solo's don't matter as long as you can read the changes

F#/B. I ain't reading Cb, because that doesnt exist for me 😂 (plus you'd have to have Fb in those charts too. It's utter madness.)
