Which would you choose in a surgeon - experience or youth?

I was just told that the surgeon I had originally chosen now has a malpractice case pending (that info came directly from the person filing the law-suit) so I made another initial consult with a doctor on the OTHER end of our state, however he is FRESH out of his residency and has only done 50 or so surgeries. Do I keep the Dr. who has 20 years of experience (and 1 big mess up) or do I take the guy who has recently gotten out of school and has not had the opportunity to mess up yet!!! This is my quandry & I know it is MY decision, what I am asking is what would YOU do??? Pick experience or newly educated??
