The one oriented correctly.
Which of these boards would you prefer?
Sort:
The 2nd one. The top one's tiles seem too large for those pieces.
I like the colors of the top one, but I agree with TBD that the tiles seem too big.

I like the top one. More elbow room for the pieces. I like the coloring better. Also I like how the dark squares have the grain orientated left to right (I'm weird like that)
The top one. The bottom one seems too dark.
Who's move is it?
Top board is more attractive but the pieces are too small for it. Like Bronco I prefer horizontal grain and the light squares are too yellow on the bottom board. Mahogany top and teak bottom?

I like the top one. It seems to me that a board with large squares makes the position easier to see. Also I like the wood color and contrast.
Top one.
The top one for me. Are you giving them away? :)

I've had the bottom one for over 15 years, yesterday I bought the top one and don't need the bottom one anymore. Now all of a sudden my girlfriend argues with me that she doesn't like the new one (top). Hence I was interested in more opinions.
You didn't mention tne most important factor: square size.

Size matters.
The original question, though, was which BOARD you like better. Take the pieces off and end that debate, and I much much prefer the top board.
Definitely go with whichever one your girlfriend likes better...
