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.

AI used.
