My embryos or donor embryos?

I am 38 years old and beginning my 2nd FET cycle.  My embryos were created with donor eggs (age 23) I have 2 embryos frozen 1-3BC and 1-4BC (I am told these are considered Good/Fair).  Last month was my first FET and we transferred 2 4BC embryos and it failed. The embryologist suggested we look in to donor embryos for a better chance at conception.  I am very open to this and would like to move forward, but since this will likely be my last attempt I am torn between my frozen embryos and donated.  The donor embryos are Excellent/Good quality.  I know it sounds like a no brainer, but I wonder what the odds are for each and the odds that much greater for one over the other?

Not silly at all.  My embryos were frozen on day 6 and are donor eggs and my husbands sperm.  Donor embryos will be someone elses eggs and sperm.

Did you do a day 3 or day 5 transfer? What is the difference between donor eggs and donor enbryos? I used donor eggs for my IVF cycle. Currently 3dpt. Sorry if that might be a silly question:-)
