Too bad that you don't include a 1960's clean and all original vintage Slingerland or Leedy or Walberg & Auge or Rogers in the equation. In my opinion, every one of those four brands would be preferable to Ludwig or Gretsch. But, since you limit yourself to those two brands, I consider it to be a crap shoot.

My vote is for the Ludwig WMP
1961 Ludwig Cocktail Lounge drum 24 x 16 in blue sparkle
1966 Ludwig Hollywoods in Sky Blue Pearl 12/13/16/22
1971 Ludwig Super Classics in Blue Sparkle 13/16/22
1976 Ludwig Vistalites in Blue 13/14/16/22
70s/80s Ludwig orphans in Black Cortex "Bonham" style 14/16/18/20/26 (B/O Badges)
Many snares
Sorry about that, I hate spell check.,.
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
I believe that 12x8 has classic lugs on it. The gap between the top and bottom lugs is too small. It should look like the drum on the left. If that's the case there will be anywhere from 12 to 24 extra holes.
Currently looking for a 3-ply 24x14 Ludwig in champagne sparkle w/rail consolette and cymbal mount!
I just bought these.

It turns out the seller for with the Ludwig b/o badge wmp and blue oyster owns a drum shop. I called to inquire about those and asked if he had any other vintage kits. He told me this Ludwig wmp keystone badge kit had just come in and he had not listed it on his cl add yet.
After he sent pictures, the rest is drum purchase history!
