Which one is better competitively, Default or Alt?

Hello. Right now, I'm struggling to pick one of the two available versions of Matikanefukukitaru to build as a Long Ace (either for Team Trials or maybe to use in some Long CM), and I wanted to ask here which one y'all think would be the smartest choice. Please take into consideration that both are leveled up to 4 stars, and that I don't use debuffs.

Imo, Default Fuku has way better stat growths (20% STA & 10% PWR), alongside an ult that seems to be a worse version of Nimble Navigator, but has reliable recovery skills built in, which favours this version for Long races.

On the other hand, Alt Fukukitaru has a better unique (I think?) and way better skills: such as Innate Experience, Overwhelming Pressure and Slick Surge. The weakness of this version are its underwhelming stat growths (10% STA, 10% GUT, 10% WIT). These bonuses make her way more difficult to build compared to the Default version.

My deck consists of the following MLB cards:

-Speed: Kitasan Black SSR and Shinko Windy SR -Stamina: Manhattan Cafe SR -Power: Marvelous Sunday SSR and Nishino Flower SR -Wit: Fine Motion SSR and Marvelous Sunday SR.

For legacies, I have a Default Oguri with 9 Stamina sparks, that boosts Fuku's Mile aptitude to B (Not doing Mile races tho, not having A aptitude on Trackblazer is torture).

So, which one should I use competitively? Default or Alt? and which Deck and Legacies should I pick to make Fuku shine?

Or 'covered in clothes', that's what the kanji means. It's a pun using the multiple meanings of the 'Fuku' prefix.
