I won't offer an opinion on either of these, as I have not used either brand of scope. For a decent low end I like Bushnell, not the lower tier but at least the next level up. I've had good luck with them. Next would be Nikon and then Leupold. Scopes are an item where you truely get what you pay for. I tried a cheap Tasco a few years back on a shotgun, one that was actually meant for shotguns, and the lenses fell out after one trip to the range. I spent a lot of time chasing the holes until I parts worked loose enough that I could tell what was happening.
The primary thing I look for in a hunting scope is light transmission. Getting those extra few minutes of light at the beginning and end of the day are what I like a scope for, esp with a relatively close range gun like like a smoothbore shotgun.
Next on my list is durability and the ability to hold zero.
Try to find reviews (independant, not feedback on retail sites) of each and try to get the best glass you can for the price.
