If you are asking which sink "looks best" from the 2 pics...SS is the more cohesive and seems to bring all pieces together properly from all the other constructed design. If your looking for a farm house fell - this kitchen (to me-old country woman) does not have the style for any farm house with either sink. The construction you have with all the other pieces, you have a lovely funtional and complete look with the (farm house cut SS) sink. Aside from how you do upkeep for the standard wear and tear - both have pros & cons. SS resale view would be best and unless you plan on remolding again in the near future - I would stay with the SS to pull it all together.
The white cast iron looks beautiful.
I have purchased the same Kohler white cast iron sink three separate times now and I've loved each and every one of them. It never chipped or scratched and looked so shiny and clean at all time. A stainless sink to me often looks dirty with all the water marks on it. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a white cast iron sink. By the way, I am now building a new home and am about to purchase yet another Kohler white cast iron sink except for this time I'm going for one big sink instead of the two basin. Check this sink out...Cape Dory by Kohler!! Best of luck with your kitchen!!
White cast iron.
To me, stainless steel farmhouse sink is the best deal. I have had a good experience with the use of this type of sink. You can see a comprehensive review and where to buy it here https://pizzchzz.com/sinks/
I like stainless steel. I've also seen some gorgeous copper farmhouse sinks, but they don't look modern, and they probably wouldn't go with your countertops.
Depending what is your budget .. cast iron is for sure more expensive and more detailed
