Which cab is better?

Ok, on my rust bucket Fred Sanford special is a cab with totally gone rockers, cab corners and cab mounts. The floor has spots that are rusted through, and over teh windsheild is shot. Lastly, there are rust through holes on the firewall, to the extent that the one time I got caught out in a driving rain, my feet were gettng wet from under the dash.

On the other hand, in the garage, I have on a pallet another cab. The firewall is solid as a rock, as is the metal over the windsheild. The floorboard is totally shot, much worse than the cab that is on the truck now, the one listed above. Rockers, and cab corners, and cab supports are totally shot, just as the cab above.

So, the cab that's on the truck's only plus is that the floor is not totally rusted out, so it might not need full floorboard replacements, where as the one on a pallet in the garage will need complete floorboard replacement,

The question now is, is the completely rotted area over the windsheild on my existing cab worse than the completely shot floorboard of the cab I have in my garage?
