Between those two, I would pick FastStone Image Viewer.
But if you want just a photo viewer other than paint, re-enabling windows photo viewer could be a good choice.

using faststone but do not recall why or who / how it was recommended. And using faststone it does what I need it to do, so don't think about it.

I've used far more sophisticated programs in the past but Faststone does mostly what I want almost all of the time.
