Which is a more deserving payout for regular season? Most Points Scored or Best Record?

As the title suggests, looking at what you think is the better way to pay out a "top performer" in a league over the regular season? Let's say you can only choose one or the other, and the payout is money back.
On the one hand, Best Record means you beat your opponent Head-to-Head, which is the nature of the game. On the other hand, Most Points Scored could be deemed as the most consistent performing team over the course of the season. I'll hang up and listen.
