Maybe we should be more nuanced here, and yes, let's not bring the frosh history in play, but the current status and future potential.

I think [I]both[/I] are great [I]both[/I] defensively and offensively, but with different skillsets that make them more (or less) effective on either side of the floor, depending on what the opposition is, and what the opposition's playbook is.

Aubrey is more athletic and a disrupter on both sides, Caroline is the better position player and a "sneaker" on both sides.  Many hadn't appreciated Aubrey's offensive skills in the past, and also many hadn't appreciated Caroline's defensive skills in the past.

I find that Geno's in-game coaching and adjustments have been very underrated in many circles, including in particular the BY...  He correctly figured out in this game that Caroline was the better match on both sides for what Iowa was doing, and played her to the expense of Aubrey for the crucial second part of the third quarter and all of the fourth quarter.  We might see the complete opposite in some other game in the future.
