Minor League Ball Keeper League: Cueto or Kershaw?

I have #1 waiver priority and I have to choose between the two. I have to make my decision by tomorrow and unfortunately, that means I can't wait to see more of Cueto. I'm in a keeper league and my rotation is solid, so I'm looking for the pitcher with the most long term value over the next four years (not necessarily upside, but most likely to finish the next four years as the better pitcher).

Do I go with Cueto now or save it for Kershaw? I was leaning toward Kershaw but today's start is hard to overlook. I try not to read too much into SP's debuts because opposing teams do not have good scouting reports. I am also concerned with Cueto's size, his situation (Dusty Baker is a young SP's worst nightmare), and his heavy reliance on sliders (a dangerous pitch) today.

So what would you do in a keeper league where you can afford to be patient? Take Cueto now, or take Kershaw later?
