I am an absolute fan of the five lineup, so in both cases there's an important missing piece to me. That's why both albums don't quite measure up to the others, in my personal list. Anyway if Christine and Stevie had participated, respectively, it's very likely they wouldn't have done so with the expected enthusiasm, for their own reasons.
In an ideal universe, I would have liked Christine to have wanted to be in SYW and been happy about it. Likewise, Stevie in BuckVie, but with her voice and songwriting talent in better shape. Dreaming is free.
Anyway if I had to choose, I'd go for BuckVie.
