Neither is the best. The second type can be radically improved by doing 2 things.
1.Where the airflow turns the cross section area should be "pinched" otherwise boundary layer growth will choke the diffusor.
2. Fit a splitter vane for the last half of the channel. It should be slightly closer to the suction side of the vane next to it.
