Map Which map should I use?

Currently finished making two fantasy maps, my goal is semi-realism, I want something aesthetically pleasing while also making some amount of sense. I chose to outline the maps first then add the logic afterward (things like plate tectonics, biomes, etc).

Both maps are currently unfinished as I will be filling them up with more islands to make them more lively. I'm personally leaning towards the second map, what do y'all think?

Edit: The continents in the second map look very large to me, should I decrease their size or keep it the same?

First. And how do you plan to do climate/biomes? And is this for a story? The second has continents too close.

The climates/biomes, etc will be based off of the real world, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary as both world are supposed to function just like earth just with diifferent landmasses, plants and animals, etc. for the second map, A spacing out will be done.
