Which is better? Thanks!

D VS1 with medium blue fluorescence or E VS1 with no fluorescence? Thanks in advance!

Without actual photos/videos of the stones it's anyone's guess which is better. Hearts are not a shape where proportions and angles allow us to make a meaningfully educated guess

I’d like to see them.
traditionally, Fluor is less expensive but I personally like it. It’s really up to you.

I agree that we need photo/videos because there is a lot of variation in the cut of fancy shape diamonds.

About fluorescence, it is generally something I like but I noticed the 'comments' on the cert of that D stone about internal graining not shown. Internal graining can sometimes cause haziness and doesn't generally pair well with fluorescence.

Here is an article discussing internal graining and fluor that might interest you:

I'm glad you have now posted the GIA certs for them. Wouldn't have noticed the internal graining comment if you hadn't. The more info we have the more we can help you. Please post photos/videos.

Fancy shapes cant be chosen without pics/video.

If you are hesitant to post because you are buying online from the likes of James Allen and concerned that a forum lurker might buy it, ask the vendor to put it on hold for you first before you post it up.

I agree that we need pics and vids to make a decision, but based PURELY on the certs, I think the E VS1 None is a better trade off on paper compared to the D VS1 MBF. The E is bigger, it doesn’t have any “problematic” inclusions, and fluoro in the high colours is dicey imo. Most people will not be able to distinguish D and E (except if very colour sensitive).

The opinion may change depending on the look of the stone, but from a cert POV the E is better in my eyes.
