Whichever one you want.

IMHO

Priority 1: whichever you can afford

Priority 2: whichever plays better to you

Priority 3: whichever sounds better to you

Priority 3: whichever looks better to you

Summary: we can’t answer your question

They’re both great quality. If it is possible in your area, it would be best if you could test one before buying. You could judge which one is most comfortable to play and sounds best to you.

I'll echo what others say that it is mostly up to you, but I'll offer maybe some perspective on each instrument. I love both Roscoe and Dingwall and currently own a different Dingwall. The SKBs are very "modern" sounding and tend towards the smoother end of the spectrum, while the Dingwall NG2 is going to be much more aggressive and tends to pair well with metal. Given the choice, I personally would choose the NG2 for a metal gig. That being said, what's most important is how you feel with the instrument and if you dig it. So if you get the chance to check them out, do so. But if you are buying sight unseen, you might consider the NG based solely on the music you'd like to play. That being said, either will work in metal. Let me know if you have any other questions!

These are literally my two favorite brands. For playing metal I'd go the Dingwall route though I think you'll be happy with either.
