Default Compression bump vs more timing

If a H/C set-up was to give you a dcr of 8.1:1 would you have more power in the end by running more timing or bumping the compression to 8.6-8.8:1 DCR? I know the car will run hotter somewhat.

I have dropped compression and can run up to 6 more degrees timing in some areas resulting in some good gains but I wonder if the higher dcr and close-to-stock timing curves would be more power/low end TQ.

Any input or experience with this?
