it depends on what negatives and positives each has and the relevant value of each positive and negative for you... e.g. if you want to pursue your career after marriage, and one is supporting you in your decision while the other is not, and your career is very important for you, you will obviously go for the one who is supporting you even if he is not as good as the other proposal. So make a list of your preferences and weigh each of the proposal against your criteria and choose the one which is best fits your criteria... if you are getting good instincts about a particular guy e.g. you like his personality, you like his way of talking etc etc, then do consider the vibes which you are getting, but there is nothing personal, weigh each guy against your criteria and choose the 'best'... wish you luck :)
hmm.. yea.. so you should make a list of pros and cons of both the guys! or maybe try evaluating both the rishtas through the following topics and try giving them marks according to how strongly positive or negative the answer is for both the guys:
How is he? as personality wise? or if you don't know them much, then how's the impression so far?
How's is family? (well-mannered? loving? understanding? "moon puth or chalaak?")
What has he studied?
What's his financial condition? if he's not earning too much, then atleast does he seem like a motivated, goal-oriented and a hardworking person?
How's his personality? is he too serious, lively, friendly, kind of shy ? (also, on the other hand, think about how you would like your husband to be, towards you and when he's around others, is he close to it? )
Do you find him good looking?(believe it or not, it matters, you need to be physically attracted towards a person, atleast a bit right? and ugly and pretty doesn't really matter here, cuz i don't find brad pitt attractive, but maybe you do, hope you get what mean)
Is he taller than you?
How much does he mean to your parents? which one your parents like more and why? think about it ?
which one gets, or seems like that he will get along with your family more and be more caring?
** AGAIN, it really depends how much each question weighs into your life right? maybe the family thing doesn't really matter and the money matters more and the height matters less **
i just thought of a couple more ,
q. is he open minded? too open minded?
q. is he too religious for you ? or not religious enough?
q. is he the type of person who would like you to sit at home and do house chores all the time? or would he be ok with it if you want to go out and work one day?
q. how much would your opinion count in making decision about life, money, kids etc etc
... and these are questions that you might need to ask them and there's nothing wrong in that to me really .. i mean it's a decision about life that you need to make, right?
and.. i guess, it's pretty clear that minds working more for me .. but then if i were you , after doing this evaluation .. my gutt feeling or "heart's" feeling would win, cuz well i would have completely answered the questions in such manners , don't you thnk? ;)

Actually, Islamically it is haram to give one rishta over another. You entertain one rishta at a time, if you do not like that person, you say no and move on, you do not leave 2 or more people hanging in the balance.

and it's that tough past that will come and hit you in the face (not literally....well hopefully) later on in the marriage.
