I would think Clinton because she's (at least perceived as) more electable, but are there any major differences in what a Clinton vs. Sanders SCOTUS appointee would be like?

Bernie because he does better in general election polls

For the 150th time, GE polls when the primaries aren't decided are meaningless.

Even actual electability is meaningless as far as this question is concerned. All that matters is perception of risk and it will be fairly easy for Hillary to convince people Bernie is the bigger risk. There's a decent chance the primary effectively ended today.

That's kind of overstating things. The supreme court has always been an issue for both parties. This made it slightly more real, but it's not like Sanders's supporters are suddenly going to abandon him because Scalia died.

I mean, I think Hillary is practically inevitable anyway, but this one event isn't the reason why.
