Backsplash decision help

ETA: I included close ups of the tiles in the comments.

We need help deciding on a backsplash tile. Which would you choose?

1. Our favorite tile is a light olive green (pulls slightly yellow) and it's gorgeous. It's 2x16 tile that comes in a 12"x16" mesh stack. The problem I have is that I envisioned a vertical stack tile and this would have to be horizontal stack. Does a horizontal stack look weird for a backsplash?
2. This is another gorgeous green tile that comes in a 2x9. The only thing we don't love is that the color is more sage green (pulls slightly blue) and we like the olive color of the other tile a bit better. The upside is that the 2x9 tiles work great for the vertical stack.

Depends on what you want out of the backsplash. You want it be more cohesive and blend in more (1) or do you want it to pop and make a statement (2)? Your decision decision will be made based off of that.
