Wise.
Wisdom is the combination of Knowledge and Love, so it is Intelligence combined with caring... How can it not be better to be wise?
We've likely all seen or met an intelligent person who doesn't care about anyone or anything .. not very wise of them. ..
Wise. I hope I never make a decision without consulting BOTH my head and my heart.

I doubt whether it can be an either/or situation for only intelligent men can be wise and of course wise men will always have to be intelligent.

In my experience intelligent people sometimes lack common sense logic and wisdom. So my answer is wisdom.

Intelligence is simply accumulated knowledge.
Wisdom is applied Knowledge!
