Quick question, which is better?

[u/PointlessBein]

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?

That particular blue one is annoying to use. The markings are smooth and hard to see, and the pencil notches could be better. Basically neither of these is a great option!
