How do I compare these equity offers?
Offer A) 120,000 shares at share price of $2 per share. Offer B) 80,000 at share price of $1.50 per share from one year ago. Are these more or less the same deal or different?

Presumably these are the prices you can buy shares at a point in future, post - IPO?
Offer A has higher upside (more shares). Offer B offers more chance of profit, but less upside.

The break even point would be $3 sale price, where you’d make $120k either way.
120k * (3-2)
80k * (3 - 1.5)
Higher than $3 and the 120k is better, lower than $3 and the 80k offer is better.

You’d have to make some estimate of the likelihood of the stock going above $3 during the window when you can sell it.
Failing that just go with your gut, safer or riskier?
