dont really care for either one honestly, there is no real flow to them,
The A proposal actually flows very well. It is in large part based on one of the Unknwons flown at the Tucson Shootout. None of the pilots complained about the flow. But to each his own.

I flew it at the Shootout. I quietly complained about it to my friends who were quick to tell me to quit whining, so I did. What good does it do to complain about something you cant conrtol? I was very unhappy with it and I thought it went too far - as an unknown - evidenced quite well by the loss of one CA 35% Yak - the pilot of which "got all mixed up". As a known at least guys can practice the sequence without the added pressure of judges and get competant at the manuevers before they have to fly them in front of people, and maybe only one or two airplanes will die in practice. But hey, I suffered through it as an unknown, I know I can live with it for a year.
Here is the "my own" part: I think its a mistake to do a 45 degree downline neg snap followed by and inverted to inverted roller in intermediate - its too much all at once, and I think they should be separated. I also agree with Duane, the pilot should hide his mistakes, not the sequence.

JMO, please dont take it personal. I'm done whining and ready to shut up and fly.
