I assume they are both correct, but I have to be sure.
The IPv6 address represents hexadecimal digits, which in turn are just a bunch of numbers, so no, it's not case sensitive.
IPv6 , RFC 5952, IPv6, 4.3 :
The characters "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", and "f" in an IPv6 address MUST be represented in lowercase.
