I'd take "all knowing." That way know how to become "all powerful."

All powerful.
If I'm all powerful, I could just decide to be all knowing too if I felt like it. If being either all powerful or all knowing would be too much for me, I could presumably decide to give them up.
In all likelihood, I'd most likely curb my own power as my first act and just live life as a superhero. Seems like a decent middle ground.

If I was all knowing I would know how to become all powerful.
If I was all powerful I would have the power to become all knowing.

Vice versa, all knowing could know how to all powerful.
What's the difference ?
If you're all knowing, it may not be possible to make yourself all powerful too. It could be that a method for doing it doesn't exist or it could be that the method for doing it is beyond your ability.
If you're all powerful then you could become all knowing on a whim.

Not sure id like either.
To much responsibility to get it right,

But, as all-knowing knows everything well in advance and is well capable of changing/escaping the situation everytime before it happens, how will all powerful defeat all-knowing to prove him/herself as all poweful ?

Yep. Under the heading of 'hypothetical'.
Or you become all knowing and realize you can't become all powerful.
