Which of the following compounds in the given pair reacts the slowest with sodium azide, NaN3?

ethyl chloride in DMF or ethyl chloride in Ethanol? I know that DMF is aprotic and ethanol is protic, but can't figure out which solvent would cause a faster reaction. I think the answer is ethanol. Can anyone offer some help? Thank you
