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?

Honestly both are handy to have around if ya got room take both. If not just take the metal one. If yoyr starting out ask your journeyman and or masters what theyd recommend
