I would buy whichever one was better priced, but I'm not going to assume that the one with an accident history will be that car.
My limonen gelb '86 Carrera was in a minor accident. The gentleman I got it from decided to replace the whole left rear quarter panel. The damage wasn't even bad enough to cut the tire. But he considered there one right way to fix it. Used OEM sheetmetal to do it. The only reason most people can tell it was done is because the replacement welds are cleaner than the factory welds. Otherwise, you would never know unless you were told. I wouldn't ask for any discount on the car and if I ever sell it there will be no discount. Much too rare of a color with a bunch of rare options to negotiate around the "accident".
