What is better for treatment of basal skin cancer radiation or Mohs?

@legeke: it's been a few weeks since your post and I was checking back to see how you're doing since you've decided upon Mohs to treat your basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Personally, I've had several to treat both BCCs as well as squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) without incident, however, in neither case have I required reconstruction - although I did have that for melanoma and healed well.

I wonder if both of the dermatologists with whom you consulted were more in favor of Mohs due to the location of the BCC, or perhaps due the difficulty in locating radiation oncologists or dermatologic oncologists who specialize in this procedure in your immediate area. You did well in performing your research and hope you're pleased with the outcome.
