Neither. The best FO team is KRU/Kylo/Stormtrooper/Officer/Executioner.
If you have to use one, probably SF Pilot - he offers Speed Up, AOE damage, and an assist, whereas the regular pilot pretty much does single target damage and nothing else.
I'd perfer to use one of the pilots over stormtrooper. Stormtrooper just isn't good in my opinion.
I get why you might get that impression on paper, but he really is a tremendous asset. First Order has a very powerful turn meter engine, second only to Ewoks and maybe the Separatist droids, and the Stormtrooper is a necessary part of it (also he's crew for Kylo's Shuttle which is a great ship):
KRU lead: all allies gain 20% TM on crits
Masked Kylo: Entire team gains 25% TM on Lash Out (which he'll have available on most turns)
Officer: Marching Orders gives 100% TM to target, Pinning Shot gives whole team 15% TM
Executioner: Whole team gains 10% TM when he crits
Stormtrooper: Whole team gains 25% TM when he taunts; zeta can potentially call Executioner assists as well
Anyway, obviously you can run whatever team you want, and if you're absolutely married to using a pilot, I stand by my SF Pilot suggestion.
