Should I capitalise "or" between examples?
Solution 1:
Generally, offering two options, of which only one is meant to be chosen, takes a form like this:
Do you prefer "A" or "B"?
In your example, A = "Eggs, butter and milk are dairy", and B = "Eggs, butter, and milk are dairy", so we'd get:
Do you prefer "Eggs, butter and milk are dairy" or "Eggs, butter, and milk are dairy"?
which is closer to your second version.
However, because the difference here is just a single character, I think the most readable version is to use bullets:
Which do you prefer:
- "Eggs, butter and milk are dairy"; or
- "Eggs, butter, and milk are dairy"
