Weird question.

They’re made of the same materials so as both equally susceptible to scratches as the other.

Silver is easier to scratch but can be polished to look like new.

Space Gray is a lot harder to scratch but can’t be polished.

Take your poison.

Silver as it's just raw stainless steel.

Space Gray has the PVD coating so it's harder to scratch and if there is one, you can't polish it as it will destroy and makes the phone look weird.
