Facial distortion is caused by perspective, i.e. relative distance to the camera. As both will give you the same FOV they will also give you the same perspective and distortion.

For head & shoulder portrait I'd prefer a longer lens. I liked 105mm or 135mm on film. On Fuji I use a 60 macro or 50-140. I'd take the 90 but can't personally justify the expense given I already have the 50-140.

I know but my studio is small

But I got my answer. Thanks.
