Easy choice: high CRI. My night walk/hiking light of choice is not neutral white by any definition (HDS High Noon), and TBH, I can't even tell the CCT is high, without a comparison point, once my eyes are adjusted.
But, that goes back to my D10 with an Osram Golden Dragon Plus, which had a very cool white output, but much higher than average CRI, for the time. More of those in-between wavelengths let's me see much better, outdoors, where so much is red and brown, plus some green. Things I want to see, as in process into an accurate mental map of what is around me, tend to look very flat until the mid-80s, CRI-wise. During over half the year, when leaves litter the ground, that's kind of important. The roughly 40% output drop from mid 70s to >=90 CRI is barely noticeable, while the difference in perceived depth of green, red, and brown surfaces is huge. It can be the difference between noticing a hole in the ground, a muddy patch, or an animal...and not.
Above maybe 92, CRI begins to fail as a useful measurement to compare different lights. But IME, even with a hideous white wall tint, anything close to that looks good enough, in actual use, to fully replace incandescent lights, for task lighting.
