Which would you prefer?

I agree. I'd have definitely preferred Ophelia to Penelope. When it comes to women it's not only looks or only personality. To me, it's a combination of the two and I'd have taken Ophelia over Penelope.

Ophelia was a complete skank who latched onto Winthrop when she realized he was loaded.
Unlike Penelope, Ophelia actually warmed up to Winthorpe
before
he became rich again. Or did you think Ophelia was Penelope, and Penelope was Ophelia?

Ophelia cared a lot more for Louis. She looked after him when he was sick, gave him a place to stay. When Louis took the overdose of pills she sounded genuinely worried and heartbroken when she and Billy Ray found him.

You're on drugs. Yellow pills. Red ones. Whatever Louis put in the drawer. JLC had about the closest thing to a perfect figure I've ever seen in any actress. An hourglass that was stacked up top but not oversize (they were real, and they were spectacular) tapering to a narrow waist then flaring to wide hips, a nice tush and shapely legs. Penelope had nothing "anywhere else." She was just skinny, with no muscle tone.

Penelope had breeding, but no class. She was more embarrassed at having to sit with the common people than worried about her fiance in jail.
Ophelia doesn't do drugs and has no pimp. They weren't going for realism.

True. Definitions of class differ but you're arguably right that true class has nothing to do with social class/background, and everything to do with manners and decency, something I suppose Penelope lacked.
Still, I'd be uneasy about a relationship with a prostitute, and the fact that she doesn't do drugs and hasn't got a pimp doesn't necessarily mean she'd be clean of venereal diseases. -

Fair enough, let's say for argument's sake that you're right. I don't think Louis would think he's in any position to judge after he tried holding up an entire office building.

Does nobody realize that Penelope was a slut as well? Remember the a capella song about her and her friends at the private club? Yes, they were singing about her and her friends being slutty fotzen. This scene is intentional to show the audience what type of person Penelope really is. As for this so-called class you say she has, I don't think asking for sexy time in front of the butler would qualify as class. And, Penelope quickly hooked up with a new guy right after dropping Winthorpe.

The snobby, self centered, and spoiled bitch or the prostitute? Gee, it's kinda hard to pick since they were both in it for the money he he. Well, Ophelia obviously has a good personality and that's all that matters in the end, right? If Whinthorpe can live with the fact that she banged many, many men for a living then I'd say he made the right choice (considering she doesn't become like Penelope or screws around).
As far as looks goes, Penelope undoubtedly had a very stunning face, but Ophelia's body was to die for (holy smokes that "swedish" outfit!). Pick: uh, both.

Ophelia..because Penelope will NOT give you a BJ. You can bet a dollar on that one.
Ah, but there's one key element Penelope reveals about herself early on in the movie:
"I would have grovelled and begged for mercy."
If Penelope's wealth was tied in with her great uncles, the Dukes, then she may have lost it all as well. In that case, she might come crawling back to Winthorpe out of desperation.
Winthorpe could still marry Ophelia while keeping Penelope as the housemaid. Ophelia is a liberated woman and might go along with it. -
