I'll go with the umpire with rules knowledge. Please note that an umpire with "rules knowledge" is someone that doesn't just study them from a book, but from clinics.
It is much harder to convince a coach of a rule s/he believes is something else at the beginning than supporting your partner on a call. Or, at least, it seems to be for me.
