Which stabilisers are better for warped keycaps - Cherry or wire?

EDIT since it seems people missed the original point of the question:
Which stabilisers are more tolerant of warped keycaps, Cherry or wire/Costar-style stabilisers?
---
After finding out that my Alps mount DSA Granite keycaps have MX mounts for the stabilisers while my Filco Zero's plate uses classic Alps style stabilisers (except on the spacebar), I now have a few options.
The cheapest would be to bend the existing wires (or buy some wire and bend it) and buy some MX stabiliser inserts for the keycaps. Alternatively I could buy a new custom plate with Cherry stabilisers, which would make it easier to remove stabilised keycaps.
But I started thinking about the slight warping on the larger keys and was wondering, which stabiliser type is more fussy about warped keycaps? I was thinking that wire stabilisers would be more flexible with warped keycaps, would I be correct in assuming that?
