Probably scale length for me. I say that because I had one of those Gibson Studio Dark guitars for a few months and never could jive with it. It had 24 frets versus 22 and just felt off. I got a regular one and felt like home again.
 
If I'm playing slide, I don't really want a radius much flatter than 12. if not, I can go pretty flat. Scale lengths I'm happy with anything "standard", others I don't really have opinions on.

So, I'll say "Who cares?"
 
Scale length by far. Body shape/comfort is more important to me than radius. A super strat with 24.75” scale length is perfect.

I do prefer flatter radius but it’s not a big deal to me.
 
Most of my guitars are 25.5 and flat radius based on what the market tends to make, but coming from bass with a 37-34 inch multiscale, all guitars feel the same after like 10 seconds playing them lmao
 
I voted equally important, but it really depends on what I am looking for at the time. My preference is flatter radius, scale length is more up to what sound I am looking for.
