Default Dipole on a hill? Farther from ground or farther up the hill?

Just getting back into HF, and I'm trying to get an antenna up on my
small lot which backs up to a hillside. There are two locations
available without erecting more infrastructure. One would be about 20
feet up at the base of the hill, and the other is about 50 feet up the
hill, but only 10 feet off the ground.

So the question: Is it more important to have the antenna farther
from ground, or father up the hill but closer to ground?

In the future, I'd love to put a tall antenna at the tallest part of
the hill, but I'm looking for something temporary right now.

Thanks.
