I'm getting ready to crimp some d-sub pins and have two crimpers to choose from. I'm not sure which crimper is the better option. So I crimped two test pins and examined them under the microscope. Despite the two crimpers looking very similar, the resulting crimps are definitely different.

Which crimper would you choose? A or B? Is either acceptable? Or neither?
Crimp A:
