I'd give it to Cu.

Heracles will gain more stats than Cu due to their current positions on their Reverse S Curves and Max Ascension is always a bonus. However, given the extremely high HPs of the Saber Wars bosses, you'll definitely want a Servant who can survive - Berserkers won't last much long against a 406,016 HP Nikola Tesla and neither will your Okitas and Salters. Of course, it's not like the free Servant in Saber Wars is exactly A-tier. That said, it'll be easier to max ascend Cu after Saber Wars given that there are Lancer Pieces, Monuments, Reverse Scales, and Feathers in the Event Store, while Seeds and Octuplets are farmable in the Dailies.

That said, you do get Claws in the Saber Wars event, so you'll be able to max out Herc anyhow. It's just that for the sake of surviving against those high HP bosses, Cu will be more useful than Herc, so I'd advise leveling up Cu.
