With two unequal vices, which goes where

Hello group, I'm new here and new to the hobby. The archives you guys
have built up here are great. Thanks for that.

I bet I could find this answer in the archives but I can't find the
right search string. I just started my workbench project, a Good Fast
Cheap varient. I've got two vices, one a new inexpensive vice from
Rockler, and an old Wilton that weighs a ton. I'm looking at these
vices and I'm wondering which one should mounted where. I'm inclined to
use the massive Wilton for the face, thinking that that position will
see the most use and therefore will benefit more from the massiveness.
On the other hand, the newer lighter vice has a quick release, and I
imagine that that would be real handy on the front vise. I'd
appreciate any opinions regarding how I should be thinking about this.
Thanks in advance.
