Depends on the situation. A9s can be a shit hand in a large 3-way pot. But you look at a hand like A3s in a multi-way pot, and you could have yourself a great hand because of the added straight possibilities. But regardless, neither hand would qualify as a "big hand, big bet" unless you flop the nuts. Personally, I would rather have A3s than A9s in most situations.
