Would you pick a classical batter in the mould of Babar Azam over a slogger like Abhishek Sharma in the white ball?

SLoggers are generally more suited for T20s, so for the shorter format, definitely Abhishek.

You can't combine T20s and ODIs under a simple "white ball cricket" in this context - they are totally different formats with a different strategy and execution approach. Also, one size doesn't fit all - different teams have different needs at different positions depending on their team compositions.
The question itself needs an enhancement.
