Which location is better for applying for the DTV soft power route, Hanoi or Taipei?

I have searched through previous posts but could not find clear, recent clarification, so I am posting to get a general sense before making a decision.

I will be applying for the DTV soft power route in early March and am deciding where to apply from.

At the moment I am considering Hanoi or Taipei. I am trying to understand which location tends to be smoother and more efficient, and where people have generally had more positive or straightforward experiences.

Any recent experiences or insights would be appreciated. TIA 🙏🏻
