Honestly, neither of the yoyos you listed would be considered “competition” throws. However, you could use both if you preferred. The Glacier Express would be a better buy if competition is what you are looking for.

What is a competition throw, really?  
As far as i go, i would go up on a stage with the yoyo i’d feel most comfortable using…  
EDIT: Got a GE. Great throw. Fast, super stable and spins with a lot of momentum. Ie dont take much of a throw to get it spinning for a while!

A competition throw usually refers to an oversized yoyo that is long-spinning, stable, forgiving, and has a decently wide width. You can use whatever you want in a competition, though.

Oh…  
Well, the GE isn’t oversized, though it is long-spinning, stable, rather forgiving and have a perfectly fine width!
