Which should you pick?
Pick the Cuba Libre if you want something smoother and less tart. Go with the Mojito if you'd rather have something bright and citrus-forward and herbal and aromatic. Both are sweet and approachable and light and refreshing, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
