The lamps were made by two different companies. Their R and D departments worked toward a similar goal in a different way.
Which one is better? Well, generally speaking, I would state that Hella has a better engineered product, whereas a company like PIAA or KC go straight for the "brute force" approach.
Will either work? Light them up, mock them up where you think you want them, and see.
As far as long range vision, light color does matter.
Given that you want to use them in less than ideal weather, I would recommend giving them a shot with a selective yellow tinted lens, using this paint ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000994BUW/?tag=2402507-20 ), or use a selective yellow bulb balloon ( http://store.candlepower.com/clyeba.html ).

For the fog lamps I used Dupli-color Yellow Metal Cast, also from amazon not sure how I feel about the fog lamps though, the paint made it hazy...I'm going to test it out a bit tonight.
It doesn't make you sound dumb, I'd rather see something unique and cool instead of the same mods that are done over and over again.
If you're looking into RallyX have you thought about swapping over to Forester suspension to raise it up a bit?
I'd go the Cobb AccessPort route instead of tactrix because of the simplicity and now that the V3 has come out, the V2 is around $100 cheaper I think. But if you're comfortable doing it that way do it.
I'm not sure if it's just the picture but the headlights look a bit foggy. I used this on my first car a few years ago and it worked great. Most of the other headlight restoration kits are bullshit. You could also bake them open and paint the plastic pieces black to spice things up.
If yellow foglights are your thing I used this on my Subaru and I love it. Just takes around 5 light coats on the outside of the fog lights and you're good to go. Much better than any of the tint overlays or light bulbs.
Here's some information on it. Daniel Stern is pretty well known as the lighting expert.
Another thing you could consider if you want to mix things up is plastidipping your car. DipYourCar has some wild colors, Sunset Orange and Tiffany Blue are my personal favorites. I'd stay away from the normal black though, it normally makes cars look pretty trashy.
Hopefully it doesn't sound like I'm telling you what to do with the car, just giving suggestions. Good luck!
