Either hostname can work. The practical issue is whether links, redirects and preferred URLs agree on one public version.
A practical check
Compare the homepage, location pages, sitemap and canonical tags. Watch for a second hostname serving independent content instead of forwarding to the preferred version.
Choosing the next step
Select the approved hostname and align generated URLs and redirect rules. Preserve path and query context where needed so a request does not lose its intended destination.
