^That should be up to you. Knowing Kaneki is one person, neither of the two options you presented is the one I consider to be the most correct. Since you say you know Kaneki is one person, means my take on things is clearly subjective and also indicates neither of your two options can be considered as truth. That's why I leave it up to you to decide when Ken is Ken for you.

For me Ken is Ken, even when he was Haise. Arima deliberately made him adopt this new identity as Haise Sasaki. But for me that was all just a scam and I considered Haise Sasaki, Ken Kaneki's CCG identity. It's an easy way to distinguish Ken from his time with Ghouls and his time with CCG. That's the only practicality I see for Haise to have any meaning to me.

Ken has always been Ken, even when he presented himself as Haise. Why? Because the thoughts were still very much present, just locked away. a Kaneki who doesn't remember anything off what happened to him, equals the Kaneki that was living his life as a highschool student with only Hide as his friend. Before I can say that Haise is a seperate persona, i'll have to say that High-school kid Kaneki was a different persona as well.

Since it's too much off a bother to make this distinction, I don't do it.
