Which one is correct (2 .htaccess redirect rules) ?

Hi

Can anyone tell me which redirect is better?

Both works (I mean the page is redirected) but I'm not sure which one is the best for google)

I want to redirect www.mysite.com/gategory_1/$pag=XXX to http://www.mysite.com/ (want to redirect all the xxx pages to homepage)

Which one is correct?

A) This use query_string
----------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pag=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule . http://www.mysite.com? [R=301]
--------------------------------------

b) this use the_request and redirect all the url that containg "page=" inside (which is fine for me but not sure if it's correct for google)
-------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} pag=
RewriteRule . http://www.mysite.com? [R=301]
----------------------------------------------

Can anyone let me know which one si the correct one? Or none???

Thank you very much!

 

the first one would be the right one
