It may be the same difference but the one that throws 65mph will be more effective. The batter has less time to make up their mind and commit to the swing. They are less likely to recognize a change up with the faster pitcher.
When all other things are equal the one with the better speed has the advantage. I think the easiest way to figure out what matters the most is to consider what you would select if you had a real option. I would pick elite speed every time and I would work on the other areas. Speed can cover up for a lot of deficiencies in other areas because of the pressure it puts on batters.

Two walks total or in an inning. My daughter was variable when she pitched - sometimes no walks, usually 2-3. Once or twice walked the bases full and got out of her mess.I rarely pulled kids for getting hit. I had a strict "2 walk rule" I used for everyone, including my DDs.
Once the kids realized that "no walks" was the key to staying in the game, they stopped walking batters.
