The RTA station codes make the pair easy to spot on the map: City Centre Deira is R16 and Al Rigga is R17. When a train is travelling from centrepoint toward Expo 2020 or Life Pharmacy, City Centre Deira comes first, followed by Al Rigga.

The better station depends on your starting point and where you are heading, since both stations are on the same Red Line. The route direction matters more than choosing between two different lines.
