I'd go with the first one. The second one makes my eyes glaze over! Plus I
think there should be an else before the second if in the second function.
I might consider something like this.
function baseID newID
if newID is empty then
baseID_newIDempty
else
baseID_newIDnotempty
end if
Return the baseID of this stack
end baseID
The two subsidiary handlers would have the logic from your first function
for empty/not empty.

It would be good to post code that works:
function baseID newID
if (newID is not empty and not exists(newID)) or \
(newID is empty and not exists(the baseID of this stack)) then \
set the baseID of this stack to "this card"
if newID is not empty then set the baseID of this stack to newID
return the baseID of this stack
end baseID
