Candidate 1 has much worse chances.

Sperm numbers are the single most important factor and you can see why:

4% normal sperm of 10 million is 400,000 sperm
1% normal sperm of 76 million is 760,000.

Plus, the guy who can make 76 million a shot will add up much faster:

2 attempts with 10 million sperm - 800,000 sperm
2 attempts with 76 mil - 1, 520,000

and so on over number of attempts.

Plus, morphology AND count can get better over time, but as a general rule the guy making 76 mil regularly is going to have by far and away better sperm quality than a man making 10 million regularly.
