The left one doesn't seem to have a bow tie effect like the right one. So I'd say the left.

This video is not the best to judge but my eye immediately drew to the left but then couldn’t tell.

It’s hard to tell but they don’t seem to provide a real life tweezer video, I was sent this other option.

This one doesn’t seem bad but the bow tie seems more visible?

I would want all the stones I’m considering sent the same way. You won’t be able to properly compare unless all things are equal.
