Without context this is a stupid poll.

My 401k had a 0.01 ER SP500 poll and no TSM. Which do you think I bought?

As long as expense ratios are comparable, there is so little difference between the two that is worth mentioning.  They are almost universally cap-weighted funds, so they're dominated by the same large companies.

All else being equal, I'd choose TSM just because it is slightly less dominated by a few larger companies.

In my taxable account,  I split my US equities evenly between a TSM and small cap fund (SCHB and SCHA).

if you have to pick one, you have to pick one.  none of this 'if this and that then this but if that then this'
no, what do you want to have?  ain't asking what you have.  what do you like better?

chocolate or vanilla dude.  not what is in your fridge or what is at the store.  what do you want?
