I like the second one because of the no-climb steep sides, however it's a bit small for him.

In my opinion, neither are good. Young tortoises their first few years need to be partially buried and/or pushed under something and do best with shell contact. I like to use a big plant with plenty of overhanging fronds. Leaf litter is a natural hide for baby tortoises as well.

Here's' a few younger radiated as found in the wild. See what they choose:
