Who... tough one, apologies in advance for the long response.
The Light Action version of the Wolf Tooth ReMote is certainly lighter action. In my experience, it has made some of the most awful dropper posts conceived of very rideable. It is excellent paired with the V2 post (much better than the OneUp V2 remote).
Where the V3 remote shines is in being so effective with a much shorter throw. I think this comes down to Wolf Tooth - who don't make a dropper post - manufacturing two remotes to cover all the dropper posts on the market, where OneUp has made the V3 remote to work with their post, and you can use it with other posts as a bonus.
Another consideration in the decision is that, while Wolf Tooth does an excellent job of having small parts available, their remote is a lighter construct. I've never broken one myself, but if you're crashing regularly the V3 is probably the better choice. I mean, just holding both in my hands it's clear the V3 is comparably bombproof.
What size are your hands; do you care about the rubberized pad? For my wife or my daughter, it would be V3 for sure just based on hands size. My wife has a Wolf Tooth regular ReMote on her dropper (Highline) and it's perfect. But, for the OneUp post she'd be better with the Light Action version and at that point, I'd choose the V3. She's particular about the position so it would be on a 22.2mm hinged clamp for sure.
With Claire's short thumbs the position and throw of the V3 remote are better and she _loves_ the rubber pad. Can't fight that.
For myself, I could be very happy with either. If I was ordering a new post from OneUp I'd probably just grab a V3 at the same time. If I was buying aftermarket, I'm one of 'those' SOPWAMTOS-supporter types so the made-in-house factor added to the made-in-North America factor of the ReMote probably wins me over.

Or, a small-or-smaller glove buys a V3. For anyone with a medium-large+ glove who usually keeps the rubber side down, just flip a coin.
