Say, for example, candidate A gets:
AAAAAABBBBBBBB

and candidate B gets:
A*A*A*A*AAAA

which candidates grades will be more respected by universities.

B. Hands down!

Even if candidate A achieved:

AAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB .

I'd still opt for Candidate B.

Obviously B. But the more quantity to compliment the quality, the better I guess.
