Unfortunately, it depends. If you have two 6 hr trips and If they bring you back the following night then overage would be better(plus any disruptions or extra duty,recall from rest, far extension). If they bring you back during the day, you need to do the calculation to see which pays more. If the sub trip is longer than 6 hours, then definitely run the numbers.

If you break the first night and they keep you with the broken plane, the following paragraph applies. They will keep revising your schedule with the trip that you are on and applicable subs. As they keep revising your trip(more pay hours), they will shift to the applicable trip to sub.
4.12.bb.77. If a trip extends more than 2 hours into time scheduled free from duty at base, overage compensation for the first 12 CH shall be paid at 150% of the pilot’s normal pay rate. If a pilot earns more than 12 CH of overage on a trip, the excess shall be paid at 200% of the pilot’s normal pay rate.

So you need to run the math to see if keeping the original pay or the trip with overage attached. No real clean cut answer but take the 15 minutes and run the numbers both ways. It is definitely financially worth it!!!!
