Speed doesn't always =power btw so in both instances you'd have equal power.

Would you rather be long armed or fast and why? Which is the bigger advantage?

Speed can dictat a fight more than reach. An individual with reach may not be at to reach his opponent if that opponent has a significant speed advantage. Reach primarily helps if the opponent doesn't have a speed advantage.
When I was young and started boxing in the amateurs. My trainer constantly put me in against smaller opposition with big advantages in speed. He did so, for when I competed against an individual in my own weight class, I would better understand my reach and my speed.

Look at Chavez Jr; he's 6'1, has a 73' reach, and he'd swap length for speed in an instant, if given the option (even with his size, the shorter arms and the speed would better allow him to fight the way he envisions himself fighting anyway)

Reach when used properly is very very difficult to overcome. Speed can be timed.
