I'd choose A because she seems stable and more long term. Ex is close by, might be the one to do the repairs and less bothering to you? If you're worried about utilities, ask her to conserve if possible. If it's not set, maybe ask that A be in charge of any clean up relating to her dogs?

B is 23. Not going to go into detail, but many 23 year olds who live on their own love to leave ALL lights on 24/7. Probably won't find too much of a difference in utilities. 23 year olds are also of 2 types when it comes to repairs. 1) Ignore until it's a bigger issue, or 2) Calls for everything

I think both are close, but A would be my choice only because she seems like she would stay longer (longer term tenants are usually less hassle). B might pick up and leave after a year or two and you start over again looking for tenants. I feel that the extra kids and dogs of A would not be an issue because of perceived maturity in taking care of a place. Kids on their own for the first time is quite the dice roll. I feel like if you determined the utilities used was a little high, once in a while you could potentially ask A to conserve a little (optional of course). B is potentially, "Not my problem, I don't pay for it anyways".
