if in coordination with others streetwise; it's shared and doesn't require additional time.
if in soloQ BTL probably, especially purple stuff with charges add-ons.

Toolboxes:
In general Streetwise is better. BTL requires you to sit in a locker for a fixed amount of time. The only situations where BTL can be better is if you're running a green toolbox with strong add-ons. And you'd only use BTL once, otherwise just sitting on the generator saves more time.
Medkits:
I'd say Streetwise is better again here, sitting in a locker is not working on generators. BUT late game BTL can be clutch with a medkit with enough charges. If you need to get to the exit gate, but can't find a teammate for a heal, BTL can save you. However, this situation isn't super common and perks like Renewal, Adrenaline, or Bond can help you out more frequently.
Flashlights:
I've got to go Streetwise again, sitting in lockers is not saving a teammate, not working on a generator. Flashlights usually come with enough charges for a clutch save, unless you're just meme'ing.

I prefer Streetwise if I am playing in a SWF where I would rather Built to Last in a soloqueue build. I would love to hear if anyone does the opposite!

Built to Last. Easily. One of my go to perks. I can get 7/8 heals out of my med-kits.
