Default 2 Ounce Difference in Wing Loading

I'm trying to decide on which engine to use. The plane is a Midwest Giles 202 that had a G38 in it. The wing loading was a whopping 37.5 oz. I never flew it like that. I bought the plane to take the engine out and use in another one. Now I'm ready to get the Giles going and the two lightest gas engines in my price rage will produce wing loadings of 33 and 35 ounces. I would prefer the engine that would produce a 35 oz wingloading, but I don't want that plane to be a real handful. I was told it was bad with the G38.
So, would you guys do? 33 or 35 ounce wing loading? (Not a 3D plane, but I really like alot of verticle.)
