I think it's your choice.   At the size you're building and dimensions of the blocks, both will look good but ever so slightly different as much of the detail will be lost by the rope going through them. The other thing is the stropping will hide some of the detail also.  I do like the look of the last picture you posted.   

 

Best thing might to strop one of each type, them run some line through them and see how each looks.
