I'd take album B. Sure, it may be "too long" and have some stuff I'm not wild about...but I'm 2 good songs richer, as far as I'm concerned.
What if the 10 song album lasts longer than the 15 song album? Do you then think 'oh it's more music so i'm getting more money's worth'?

I've heard many 'unreleased tracks' of songs that were left of albums & given as extras for re-masters. And I would say 99 times out of 100 there's a perfectly good reason they were unreleased, that was they weren't very good and would have added nothing to the finished article.
