Which civ is better on Nomad? Persians or Malians?

Both civs can always get 1 fishing ship out before their TC is up, and have solid Calvary and a solid eco bonus. They seem very similar to me. Whose eco bonus is better? Which would you rather play on standard Nomad? 1v1 or Team game?

• UT: Boiling Oil. Gives castles +9 damage vs rams

Malians:
