Please settle the debate for me-Favor Tools or Favor Ability?

I've been experimenting with different types of scouts in my save, and I cant figure out which one is better. This is something I've been wondering about since last years game. For example I drafted what looked to be a stud pitcher in the top 10 who had if i recall correctly, 75 potential for my scout that favored tools. I lost that scout in the offseason, so I hired a scout who favored ability to replace him because of his great scouting ratings. That same pitcher who was a 75 potential is now a 20 potential player, and now I feel like I wasted a top 10 pick. Ik potentials can change, but to go from 75 to 20 from the draft to the offseason shouldn't be a thing. Idk if my scout just really hates this guy, but I feel like there shouldn't be that much of a difference. After the season, I got another new scout that favored ability and he felt the same about said player.

I've since been using a scout who is neutral when it comes to his preference and it's too early to tell how the draft picks under him turn out, but it's frustrating as heck to see promising players turn to nothing based on the scout. So basically, I need to make a decision on which type of scout to get moving forward, as I can't keep playing this game where I switch scouts every offseason.

Thanks for any input
