I would only make this decision if the pitchers really have good ratings, and I have an extremely strong bullpen, because if not, I would prefer starters that have more stamina not to have such dominant ratings and use both pitchers you mention as relievers, possibly as stoppers.

In my case, unless they are top 1 or 2 starters, I prefer to have starters with this type of ratings:

Stuff between 45 and 55
Movement greater than 55
Control greater than 50
Stamina greater than 55

And that they have 4 or more pitches, these types of pitchers will give you a lot of stability.

And in a modern game (from the first day of simulation) or historical game after several years it is not so difficult to get them through free agency or trades with other teams.
