Given the narrow choice you propose, I would go with the one that is better in tune. Both the other players in the orchestra and the audience (to say nothing of the conductor) will not much care if you are slightly dissatisfied with the resistance of your instrument, or the sound is a trifle brighter than you consider ideal; but they will wince and disapprove if the pitch goes awry.
Ideally speaking, if it were me, I'd ask to try another pair of clarinets to see if one of those was both reasonably in tune and relatively free blowing. If that's not an option, choose the truer pitched one.
