Which is better? Old Art Style or New Art Style

[Jwebtoons]

Honestly I'm on the fence about whether or not I should stay with old art style for my manga or new one. I've been told quite a few times that the old one wasn't good, but honestly it looks fine to me.

I'm no art expert, nor am I trying to argue against the claims. There are most likely flaws that don't really bother me.

I was considering going with a new artist (also for cost reasons) and right now I only have a few rough sketches from them, but I'm not sure what to make of it.

Below is an example of the 2 styles of the same character who is 7 years old in both images. It is supposed to be an action shonen manga.

New Art Style

Both look good, and I'd definitely recommend whichever is a more sustainable style to stick with long-term. The first one looks like it took ages to do. It looks awesome, but may get tiresome to keep up with that level of detail page after page.

The last one is just a rough sketch, maybe that's why.
