Trying my hand at carp fishing with corn tomorrow, what hooks would you use between these 2? Thanks in advance!

Both would be good but I would go with the circle hook as it’s a self hooking hook

For Carp it’s depending on the rig.
If you are making a hair rig/knotless knot, the circle hooks have the eye at a strange angle / not most optimal. Those hooks here in the UK would be used mrke for predator fishing.
I use a krank pattern hook currently as find this the most effective. Aliexpress have big bundles of the Hirishi ones that are pretty sharp and sharpen well For a good price. Personally, I would get some others slightly more dedicated to carp fishing.

Circle hooks are not meant for carp. I use octopus hooks and the drop shot hooks don’t look far from it. You will miss a lot of bites on circle hooks and when they actually hook up it can cause a lot of damage to the mouth

Size 4 will catch more fish, the 2 can be too big. Ideally a 6 or 8 is what you want.
