I much prefer the HG setting to the BT one. For me it’s mostly about realism. Granted any game about giant war robots is by definition unrealistic, but I feel the HG setting is more grounded and their technology and societies and reasons for fighting seem more believable.

Also I think someone on this site mentioned stocking HG in the UK so you may be able to find a local source and not pay shipping from Canada.

That said, I think the best thing is to see which game has more traction in the local area. Picking the better game won’t help if no one will play it with you.
