High end bard belt (BCG or Turtle belt)?

[remen]

Given the choice between these two belts, since they are about the same price, which would you get for your bard. This would be for situations that resists aren't a factor

Obviously the BCG has better stats overall with more HP & Stamina, but only a little less dex and str. I guess what I am wondering is how much does AoB make up for the lesser stats? Does +10 attack do anything noticeable for a bard in a situation where he is doing melee damage?
