Both have advantages and disadvantages.  My favorite chess database is Chess
Assistant, but your tastes may be opposite.

Why not get them both?  They are under $150 (If I recall correctly).  $300 puts
both on your desktop.

Chess Assistant is a lot faster, and will properly analyze EPD records.
ChessBase will run the ChessBase family of engines and calculate ELO values.

Bob Pawlak's book has a nice overview on those tools from one year back.
Consider that data, along with whatever information in the press releases about
the new products to make your decision.
