Wyeast vs White Labs

So I am making the bourbon barrel extract kit this Friday. I just realized that I don’t have yeast. I bought the kit a while back and did not buy yeast because I wanted it to be more fresh and buy it closer to the actual brew date. NB suggests Wyeast 1728 but my LHBS only has White Labs WLP028. Any thoughts or opinions on either one? Thanks!

Just got a message from another LHBS that has Wyeast 1728 so I have a choice of either? Which should I get?

I have only used the 1728 but my guess is they were both cultured from the same or similar Scotch ales. Both should ferment clean so I would just go with whatever one is easier to pick up.
