Not that my opinion isn't the only one, but I'd not take anything off of the first one except that funky looking leaf on the 2nd branch from the cut.
The 2nd, I'd take off the lowest 3 branches. The lowest because I think there needs to be more nodes buried, the next because it's going in the wrong direction and looks big enough to propagate, and the 3rd because it's just puny and still really low. IME, the more buried stem, the better, and the bigger the better. I don't usually let them callous, but unless there's wilting, probably no harm. I rarely have any fails, but also rarely the patience to have enough growth to yield such a big cutting.
