Pick Model A if you need a lightweight, wider-angle zoom for everyday shooting and low-light situations, or if budget is tight. Choose Model B if you prioritize longer telephoto reach for distant subjects and can accept a slightly higher price and one-stop slower aperture. Neither lens overlaps in focal range, so the decision hinges solely on whether you need wide-angle or telephoto coverage.
