So, if one had a low SAT score would you recommend that he submit it, or no? Probably the latter, I'm assuming.

Why bother? We’re test-optional for a reason; if there’s any concern that your SAT/ACT scores might negatively impact your application, you have the luxury of not having to send them. So don’t!

I'm more of an ACT person than an SAT person- if you send one score instead of the other, is your application looked at any differently?

Basic answer is either ACT or SAT scores are optional for the application, so don’t worry about it.
The reason for that is that we’re looking at the sum of the whole student, from your GPA, to your interview, to your writing samples, to any supplemental material you choose to include. So you could choose to submit a really impressive art portfolio or documentation of an independent science project you did, which could have just as much weight as your test scores. So if you’ll get a better score on the ACTs, by all means submit that.
