Definitely would go with your first choice. Culture fit is important but is it really more important than a team member who can actually contribute to the important work that needs to be done?
Pro
right? I imagine the other team members would feel a bit frustrated
Better culture fit as long as they were willing to learn the technical skills. I find it infinitely easier to teach the technical skills than to guide them into fitting in with the culture. The culture/people fit tends to be something you have or don't have.
I tend to agree with you. Technical skills are way more important. People can work on being nicer and more personable, but it's not reasonable to expect somebody to learn how to code or other highly technical skills on the job.
Pro
i agree too :)
Leadership was right. I’ve never fired someone because they can’t learn tech skills. When I’ve fired someone, it’s for lack of people skills. If the new hiree isn’t picking up the tech skills, it’s because you haven’t laid out an appropriate plan to get them up to speed.

I agree- I think culture can be taught often times. In general, your final candidate isn't going to be a difficult and unagreeable person.
