I think those are both the same thing. Plugging it would allow them to redrill later in a different location. Salvaging it immediately would allow them to do both at the same time.
Both would eventually stop the flow of uncaptured oil, but would they both stop the flow in the same amount of time?
That is the real problem here: the question of which option to pursue should be driven by getting the leak stopped ASAP. I fear someone has their mind on revenue.
