I'm going with D, I don't dislike the band but never go out of my way to listen to them or anything and I'm not familiar with the difference between the two eras.
i saw them live last summer in philly, they fucking rocked with Roth. they made good music with Hagar, and really showcased their talents, but they totally lost their kick ass, "sex, drugs and alcohol" attitude that got them famous in the first place.
Both Roth and Hagar put out some great songs, but Roth get's the lead for being so much of a great showman -- He commands the stage. Hagar never had the physical presence on stage that David Lee Roth had. As for Gary Cherone, I don't know.
Lots of people love the Hagar van halen, but they are all stupid. Only the roth van halen is listenable, and they are probably the most over rated band of that era anyway. A good guitarist and drummer, yes, but a LOT of bad filler songs.
"I prefer Eddie Van Halen, but given the choices I choose David Lee Roth"

and thats even funnier! they only ignited an entire generation of copycats throughout the 80s. and what bad songs do they have? sure some aren't great, but all of their songs are pretty decent. i mean, come on now you can't even compare some of their worst songs to a lot of the music of the 80s.
