Which 6' wooden gate is STRONGER: A) or B)?

All things being equal (diagonal oriented properly, heavy duty hinges, properly installed posts, gate width roughly 5').

A gate with:

A) An uncut (uninterrupted) diagonal?

Where the horizontal middle rail is cut and fastened each side of the diagonal.

Or,

B) A cut (interrupted) diagonal?

That resumes each side of the horizontal middle rail.

Thanks for your feedback!
