Sophia I would play the staccato version, because I believe Christian has a reason to play it that way. Call it educational method. Or training of the skill: "one hand legato while other hand staccato".
Ok, in current exercise, the LH staccato part is solo, while the RH pauses that beat. This makes it probably easier. I found myself strugglig a lot to play LH-A staccato together with RH play a legato note of a lick. Or in other words, as long LH was solo on that note: easy👍. But if I played both hands together, both became staccato, or both became legato.👎
It cost me a lot of time to sort that out, and it is still not good by any means.
Maybe TCs tip is the best, not to waste too much time and do what you like best, if one version is problematic. On the other hand, you are as fast as a 🚅, while I am more like a 🛴... Maybe you should go staccato version, or at least try it for some time 🤔
