Pros of 2lbs: You lose weight quicker.
Cons of 2lbs: Less energy, more prone to loose skin.
Pros of 1lb: More energy, loose skin will be kept to a minimum, able to eat more.
Cons: You'll lose weight slower than 2lbs.
If you're stats are correct, and above all your picture, cutting should the furthest thing from your mind.Currently cutting.

Depends mainly on how long you've been fat, and genetics. I've known people who lost 60lbs and had TONS of loose skin. I lost 155lbs in a year and ended up with almost none and I stress that I did virtually zero lifting, whereas the others I've known were lifting from day 1. Depends on age, gender, duration of obesity, and genetics and many more things I probably don't know about. Don't care about it.....you either wanna be fat, or not. If you have a lot of loose skin afterwards, either go with surgery or hopefully its a small amount to where all you need to do is build some mass.
