If you are asking this, that means you need more data. DO NOT judge startup solely based on the compensation package. Some tips to ask:

- Work environment. This involves who you will be working with and how they work together? Do they use Scrum? Have you talked to anyone that you will be working closely with?

- Growth Potential. Which one is more challenging? Which environment is more suitable for you to grow?

- Go deep in where the company stand. Competitors, market fit/advantage, etc.

- Ignore the number of stock options. Ask for outstanding shares or get the percentage.

- How's the founder?

All being said, don't be afraid to negotiate! Company take so much time to write an offer. No company will decline you just by negotiating. Least thing they will do is to tell you straight up that this is their best offer. If you like B more than A, tell them you will sign if they match the base with the other.
