Default Opinions Wanted Hill's Precription P/D vs. Innova Puppy

My vet prescribed Hill's Prescription P/D for my Zoe the day after I got her from the breeder at 7 weeks. She weighed .9 lb. I've been feeding dry kibble and some canned. Mostly dry. She's been doing great, very energetic & healthy. However, lately she seems to have lost interest in her food. I put it down and she looks up at me like, "that's it?". She eventually eats it. Today I mixed Innova and Hill's 50/50 and she is picking out the Innova, eating it and putting the Hill's on the floor beside her bowl, but it's new and probably more exciting at the moment. She is currently 2 lbs at 5 months.

I've been reading a lot on YT about Innova and it sounds wonderful, so I bought a bag of Innova Puppy. Here are the nutritional statistics off each of the bags.

Innova Puppy
Crude Protein 26%
Crude Fat 12%
Crude Fiber 3.5%
Moisture 10%
Vitamin E 1000 IU/kg
Vitamin C 500 mg/kg
Linoleic Acids (Omega 6) 3.9%
Fatty Acids (Omega 3) 1.3%
Total Microorganisms 1,000,000,000 CFU/LB
Calorie Content 500 kcal/cup

Hill's Prescription P/D
Crude Protein 28%
Crude Fat 20%
Crude Fiber 3.5%
Moisture 10%
Calcium 1.1%
Phosphorus 0.9%
DHA 0.1%

Ingredient lists are too large to publish here. Hill's 1st 3 ingredients are Ground Whole Grain Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal and Pork Fat. Innova's 1st 3 are Chicken, Chicken Meal, Barley.

Okay, Nutrition experts, What is your opinion on which is best for my little Zoe? Your input is very much appreciated.
