I personally prefer eye appeal and centering first

If you are more a collector go for the eye appeal
If you are more a flipper/investor go numbered

Where possible I would try waiting to get a better looking 1 then a beater 1 or an alterted authentic

It also depends on rarity/availability as I would not pass up a beater card if it is something I wanted and it is rare and do not know when I might find another better looking one.
