which design had more potential

or

had the Russkis decided to continue funding these two projects, which would’ve had more potential as an operation aircraft in the RuAF?

if these aircrafts were put into production, would the Russian aviation industry skip all aspect VLO aircraft (like the F-22) and go straight to a 6th generation?
i.e. Su-27 -> 1.44/su-47 -> 6th generation (maybe unmanned)

given that US style 5th generation aircraft may be financially unfeasible.
