Richie for longevity. And bonus points for being the coolest bat around.
Decided to fact check this. Pujara has played 103/129 games India played in the 12 year 8 month period between debut and last match, which works out at just over 10 years relative longevity. Richardson played 86/101 games WI played in the 11 year 9 month period between debut and last match, which works out at close to exactly 10 years relative longevity. They are virtually identical on that front.

Both far better at home than away with Pujara having a slightly wider discrepancy, though both certainly scored good hard runs away from home sometimes. The main reason i'm giving this to Richardson is that he played his entire career in a relatively lower scoring era whereas Pujara was in a high scoring era for a large slice at the beginning of his.
