I like the lower image more than the top. I also agree (more) with JVRenderer... for that first image, I'd normally try something in the 60-90 range. I know that a lot of people use 120+ (or even 200) for close-up/face shots, but I find that it flattens things out too much and/or distorts the features of the character too much for my taste.
