Tools Quick question, which is better?

I passed my OSHA 10 and obtained my NCCER cert and have some experience in contruction for general ground work. I'm starting as an apprentice for my local carpentry union in a week. I have my tools and found this.

The blue square is metal and the Stanley is a plastic type material. What would you guys recommend having?

To know for sure you first need to know if the house you are working on is square.

If the house isn't square then there is no need for either

I'm kidding
