Kill him.
You do realize in this one you're actually killing a person rather than merely serving as the executioner, right? You do realize that in the other one the criminal "earned" their death to a greater extent due to being a murderer rather than a petty criminal, right?
I think it's odd for someone to take this scenario as the more light one to bear, and easily at that.
Your position is completely logical. But I can much more easily imagine myself shooting someone to death than clubbing his skull with a baseball bat. It's dumb but that's how it is.
