I'd say the choice is very dependent on how much drive power you have. As
far as you can trust the ARRL handbook, it suggests about 10dB of gain in
GG. If you want 1500 out, that could be a problem.  In driven grid AB1, the
power gain is theoretically infinite. If you don't have at least 100 watts
of drive on ten, I suspect you won't get an awful lot of output because you
won't have enough drive.
