They have the same character traits. I have not seen anything in particular that shows the wish version of Hook as "more of his own character apart from _____." The original Hook got plenty of non-Emma plotlines. I think it just boils down to whether you prefer romantic relationships or parent/child ones when considering both Hooks. Like Eskaver mentioned above, they really did just swap out Emma for Alice and started him off as "redeemed by default" instead of showing a journey.

They are separate people like Regina/EQ were "separate people" - literally the same at one point but experiences divulged at a certain point.
