If you really want proximity to Manafort, you may want to get ahead of the market and buy in Florence, Colorado.

Either that, or a choice plot near an unmarked pauper’s grave outside Kiev.

Is a commute part of the equation? Depends upon where in each neighborhood.

to me Cobble Hill feels more insular than Park Slope.

They are comparable in the sense that they are both great, safe areas. But as far as which is better, that’s personal preference.
Have you not walked around both to see which suits you better? I would say you’ll answer your own question after about an hour in each neighborhood.

For proximity to manafort, you really can’t beat cobble hill.

Mint chip is better than strawberry! I mean, this is silly without criteria.

Cobble Hill is definitely better. But Carroll Gardens is better than Cobble Hill, FWIW.

Better or worse based on what criteria?

Luck of the draw either place depending on what kinds of neighbors are on the block you move to.
