New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Now matter how high the price of the 1893-S gets, and it's really up there now (coins in Good are selling for $2,500+) the set is not complete without it.
I'll take the 93s first and for desert, gimme the 95.

for me, i'd take the 1895 if i HAD to choose.

Norm, from 'Cheers' said it best about gambling, "It's more fun when there is no risk involved."
Rarity is more fun when it is easy to purchase. Coins that are tough or improbable to locate are not as much so for the average Collector.
With that preamble, I'd state the 93-S Morgan (easily bought, albeit expensive) is more "fun" than the difficult 1895 proof.

95 proof more valuable.
Forgot to add, although I'll probably never own either, I'd rather have the 95 proof. I've seen 93-S's in very common places (coin shops and small shows), but I've never even seen a 95 proof.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
