And remember that every pharmacy may or may not participate, and even if they did, then you should definitely NOT PRESUME that the discounts will be the same. I am 100% certain they are not. That is why there is NO recommendation or preference for either. Just take and use them BOTH (and add GoodRx as well, sure).

b. You don’t get any rewards for being loyal, so only money matters (duh). Your lack of comparing cannot be cashed for a gallon of gas.
