to the OP, if you have no interest in advising it doesn’t matter. On the other hand if you intend to try to develop a mentor-type relationship with the advisor with the prospects of a solid letter of rec for grad school and perhaps future contact over the years, the associate is the way to go. Its likely they will be at your college for many years, while assistant profs typically work for a few years and then move on.
