It has nothing to do with which one is better, they both are going to be great.

It has everything to do with which shape or color you like best? If you want side effects or not. etc.

Cascade, think this walls, VERY nice float and very fun to play, not a huge competition yoyo persay, but hey, id use it bc of how fun it is!  
The wide shape makes string tricks easier. and the SEs, id totally reccomend UL and Brass UL or stock domes

Albatross, i found it to be more solid with a floaty presence. very strong throw, and i tthink benefits for a shaped/curved bearing rather than stock.  
more competition feeling, less fun, but still fun!
