Definitely go for Ruksati date. I was in same spot as yourself. Nikah done at early age and ruksati many years later haha. So I used ruksati date. One thing though, be sure to have a new nikah nama on the day of ruksati, because they'll need the nikah nama. Keep it to one date otherwise you might make things complicated.
No need to tell them you had your nikah on date-date-date but ruksati on date-date-date. Just keep it all on one date, which is your ruksati date and hopefully you have new nikah nama on the day also, and also have English translation copy with it as you'll need that too.
