Would I be safer with the Italian?

I like both the Italian and the Southwestern. The Italian is my multipurpose spice - on everything from hash browns, spagetti sauces, meat loaf, chicken, biscuits, focaccia and more. I mainly use the Southwestern for chip and veggie dip - equal parts sour cream and mayo and a Tbsp or two of seasoning. I don't think it is that spicy.
