The 110lb Index is an uncoated cover stock. As the name suggests, it is the same material they make 3x5 index cards with. There is no coating, so ink will soak into the stock and hold nicely.
The 67lb Vellum Bristol is coated with a soft matte. It is significantly lighter in weight than the index. The coating on this stock is fairly light compared to other kinds of card and cover stock, but will be more prone to smudging than the 110lb Index. It will still work for your purposes since the coating is light and not a glossy cover.
The weights of paper stocks can be confusing. You can find an in depth explanation of weights here and here. The main point being that each category of stock will have a different way of measuring weights. The universal way to tell what stock is heavier/thicker is through the metric grams per square meter (gsm).
I personally would recommend the 110lb Index over the 67lb Vellum Bristol. I prefer an uncoated stock when working with my notebooks. The thickness between the two stocks aren't terribly apparent at a quick glance (200 gsm for the Index vs 140 gsm for the Vellum Bristol), but you'll definitely notice a difference with prolonged use.
Most consumer guillotines are prone to warping and creating a non-straight cut due to the curved blade. I would recommend a rotary trimmer.
I hope this is helpful for you! Feel free to ask anything else that comes to mind.
