landscaping wall question

What's your opinion?
I hope I can explain my situation

I am putting in a retaining wall with pillar on both side of the driveway. I built the pillars out of wood first before I commit and buy the blocks.

In the photo below both pillars are exactly the same height.

the road and land in front of the house go down right to left

My question is this;
Is it more important to have the two pillars level with each other, which means the pillar on the left ends up being taller.


Or do I just make them the exact same height like they are in the pic


And yes, this is my first attempt at landscaping

If you are putting in a gate I would say yes so the gate looks level. Otherwise I would say it is your choice.
