No, definitely go with what you and your cancer team decide on after careful evaluation. Overall survival alone is a tricky stat, because we all start from different places: is your cancer localised or metastatic? castrate-sensitive or castrate-resistant? oligo or high-load metastatic? bones, lymph nodes, and/or organs? how old are you? how's your heart? how well do you tolerate hormone therapy? how active are you? do you have diabetes or other comorbidities? what have you already tried? etc etc.

If the median OS is slightly higher for one treatment than for another, that doesn't mean that the same will apply to your specific situation.
