-Fearow d is an awesome trade
-good trainers like CC, Windstorm in here
-DRE
But HP is nice too.
Reasons
-Flygon d, RaiEggs and Lati@s is in here.
-Holon's Casty & Adventurer.
-Crawdaunt ex 'n Vileplume d. Gotta love em >_>

Ok, my comments on the 2 editions; 
EX Holon Phantom:Most of the cards in this edition are useless except for some like Holon Castform and/or Rare Candy & the ones mentioned above. This edition has average 3 ex's which can useful if you know how to utilize them. Otherwise, this edition is not good at all. So if you think you need a lot of cards from this edition, then you should buy this, if not don't buy it...
EX Crystal Guardian:This edition has quite a number of useful cards. For example, Banette(Bandoom deck), Charizard d(Charigross), Celio's Network(Important in all decks), Delcatty ex(Inferncatty deck). Overall, this edition is quite ok. So if you think you need a large amount of cards, then you should buy this.

Different countries has different price. One booster box has an average of 3 to 4 ex's & maybe a pokemon * if you are lucky. There are 36 boosters in a booster. Many people are buying booster box because of DP, they want to get the new cards(I think)...
I've had the suckiest DP boosters ever at prerelease (the best cards being 2x Wobbuffet, a Rival and 2x Staraptor) so I'm not buying a box. xD Tho I'll try to go to all the prereleases of MT, cuz I calculated that going to 4 prereleases(32 packs) is way cheaper than buying a box(36 packs). Also prereleases are fun and boxes are too hard to get. So erm, maybe that's an idea for you, just go to the prereleases of MT, saves you some money prolly. >_>
crystal guardians got better cards so get crystal guardians because inside got celio network cessation crystal swampert ex banette (safeguard ability) charizard d exploud ex fearow d (R-gon) but holon phantoms got rare candy and holon castform which are good cards compare to crystal guardians, it(hp) has lesser good cards in it.
Since we already know that Garchomp LV X is powerful card because of its Rebirth attack, I think you should get EX CG because of Crystal Shard & other good cards mentioned above...
Probably CG, but they're both nice sets. But I think CG, just because you have a better chance of getting good cards like Castaway, Jirachi-ex, etc.
Arcanine out.
Arcanine out.
EX: Crystal Guardians
Some people Only buy Boxes because they Get EX's. If so, Get this Box. My Comment on the Cards:
