How many packs do I get with each?

It costs about $70 more but adds 3 packs, 65 sleeves, counters and a box. If you already own sleeves and dice, the bundle is the better value.

Which is better for a gift?

The Elite Trainer Box makes the stronger gift because it is a complete sealed kit. The bundle is a good lower-cost gift for a young collector.

Do both contain the same cards?

Yes. Both draw from the Surging Sparks set, including Pikachu ex, Alolan Exeggutor ex and ACE SPEC cards. The ETB just gives you more packs.
