Not sure what you're really asking here.

In reference to what each is 'worth' in terms of your experience as a pilot and selling it to an airline someday, there is a Grand Canyon's difference between the two, as they live at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Dual Received is pretty much 'worthless' time so far as the airlines are concerned. You're not the PIC, not making any real decisions, and not legally 'in charge' of the aircraft.

Dual Given is the opposite, PIC and instructor time, which is exactly what the airlines are interested in when hiring future F/Os.

In terms of "logged" time, dual received goes in the "total time" column, too.
