3% dividend yield with 10% grow or 5% with 5% grow Which one would you go for?

Just out of curiosity I made a table with results to see how such investments looks.  Lets say company "A" with yield - 3% and 10% dividend grow rate per year vs company "B" with dividend yield 5% and 5% dividend grow rate per year.Depreciation or appreciation are excluded and all dividends being reinvested.Yields are based at yield on cost.
Lets see what happens:

Company "A" value   Yield        Year      Yield     Company "B" value
          1000$               3%            0         5%             1000$
          1030$               3.3%         1         5.25%        1050$
          1063$               3.63%       2         5.51%        1105$
          1102$               3.99%       3         5.78%        1166$
          1146$               4.39%       4         6.07%        1233$
          1196$               4.83%       5         6.38%        1308$
          1254$               5.31%       6         6.7%          1391$
          1321$               5.84%       7         7.03%        1484$
          1398$               6.43%       8         7.38%        1589$
          1488$               7.07%       9         7.75%        1706$
          1593$               7.78%       10       8.14%        1838$
          1717$               8.55%       11       8.55%        1988$
          1864$               9.41%       12       8.97%        2158$
          2040$              10.35%      13       9.42%        2352$
          2251$              11.39%      14       9.89%        2579$
          2507$              12.53%      15       10.39%      2828$
          2821$              13.78%      16       10.91%      3122$
          3209$              15.16%      17       11.46%      3462$
          3696$              16.67%      18       12.03%      3859$
          4312$              18.34%      19       12.63%      4324$
          5103$              20.17%      20       13.26%      4870$

As you can see it took 20 years for Company "A" to reach the higher value than company "B".
What are  your thoughts about this? where would you invest? is it worth to wait 20 years and invest in Company "A"?.

Interesting fact: Yields became the same after 11 years
