Why are you limiting yourself to just these two.

What speakers and how many speakers, location of speakers, factory HU or aftermarket HU, do you want to keep FM reception or is it not important.
All these will help to determine what amp would be best for your situation.

If those are your only 2 options good luck.
We will hear back from you when you decide that you actually want to hear your music clearly and cleanly at 65+ mph on the highway.

If you are going to run 4 speakers, you should get a 4 channel amp since your front speakers are 2ohm (not sure what the hog tunes are). Those amps are pretty pricey for only pushing 2 channels at 90 and 70 watts a piece respectively.

If you don't mind risking FM reception take a look at the RZ42000D. MUCH more powerful amp, less expensive, and sounds great.

There are better options for you in that price range.
