To overly simplify and dumb it down to the simplest example. If you are at or above 5500 rpm while WOT 51% or more of the time vs being below 5500rpm at WOT then the 2nd option is better. If you are WOT below 5500rpm 51% or more (which makes zero sense) then option 1 is better.

Why does it have to be WOT? I can't be at 90% throttle at 5800RPM? Stop looking at just HP and look at where the torque is. There is not enough of a difference there to change shifting habits. Track layout and gear spacing are clearly not factors to you.
You clearly have little to no track experience. If I am wrong, please post your data of never driving below 5k RPM under throttle on anything but an oval or drag strip.
