If you are talking about misdemeanors in both instances. Generally, a conviction for domestic assault will be used against you to heighten possible sentences in the future. Most states have statutes that make sentencing "enhanced" for people with prior domestic assualt convictions. For that reason, I would argue it is worse to get convicted of domestic assault.
