VESG vs VGS

Hello! I am new to investing and was looking into buying a few different ETF's and was wondering what the general consensus is when choosing VESG or VGS. They both have the same management fee of 0.18% p.a but VGS is way more popular. I understand that because VESG does an ethical screening it is less diverse in that respect but unless I've misunderstood something in terms of the number of holdings it's 1636 vs 1465 so VESG has more companies and both have the same general investment strategy. I would also assume that because VESG does a screening against certain companies such as those related to fossil fuels or those directly or indirectly exposed to controversial conduct it would be more likely to do better over the next 10 years? Any thoughts would be appreciated :)
