(A) We should take what they say seriously.
(B) We should take seriously what they say.

Are they both equally natural? Is one better than the other?
 
I think both are natural but A is better, i.e. "take something seriously", in general.
 
Only the first works for me.
 
Yes, the first is natural, but there's nothing wrong with the second.
