Tentang と~と、どちらが

と~と、どちらが is an expression in Japanese that is made from the following parts:

- The particle (x2) in its meaning of 'and'.

どちら - The polite speech form of (だれ) 'who', and a slightly newer form of どっち that basically means 'which'.

- The case marking particle.

This structure is used when the speaker is asking a question about whether someone will choose (A) or (B). It is only used when there are no more than two possible choices.

As can be seen above, verbs may be used as part of this structure if they are nominalized with こと, or . Additionally, the polite form does not specifically need to be used, and どっち may be used instead.

The second itself is quite often omitted, as どちら (or どっち) implies that both (A) and (B) are part of the same structure.

Fun Fact

As どちら is the polite speech form of (だれ), it is also frequently used as a polite way to ask questions about unknown people.

Caution

どちらのほう (or どっちのほう) may also be used, but this does not really change the overall nuance. It merely puts slightly more emphasis on the 'direction' of the choice. This is similar to expressions like 'which one are you leaning towards?' in English.

        Does を ‘block’ the が here or is something else going on?

        犯人はんにんげるの警察けいさつくのとどちらえらぶでしょう。

        There is no “blocking” going on. You are just using どちら with the を particle instead of the が particle.

        With 選ぶ, が marks who is making the choice and を marks what is being chosen.

        Edit: This might not be the entire story though. Take for example this example sentence from bunpro:

        二階にかいてのマンション 普通ふつういえとどちらが んでみたい?

        Normally, に marks where you are living and が marks who is the one living. In this example it is using が with a location. Searching twitter どちらに住む is much more common than どちらが住む for choosing between two locations. Maybe this is just a case of どちらが being so common that people accidentally use it like this and common accidents eventually become standard use.

        It looks like there’s a mistake in the Structure block? There should not be (1) next to こと.
        I think it meant to say that you can nominalize options expressed by verbs using both こと and の. And instead of どちら, どちらのほう, どっち, どっちのほう can be used.
