Bull! Both have great racks but I like eating elk better than mulies. Now if there was no ?only one? stipulation both would be headed for living room wall and freezer!!
Buck for sure, the buck is a way better trophy to me than the bull if you happen to care about those things...plus I have elk bigger on the wall, but not a muley of that size. As others have mentioned I also prefer elk to deer for eating.
Definitely the buck. A nice bull is fairly easy to get these days. A nice buck is getter harder and harder to take.

Buck! He's an old mature guy with a pot belly and sway back. Huge body and great rack that will probably score better than he looks from the side( if one cares about that).
For sure the bull would be better table fare in most cases though...
I would shoot the bull based on antlers alone, simply because I've never taken a bull that big. If they were more than a few miles in I'd likely shoot the muley.
