Buyer's Choice: Civil War or War of Light?

After checking under my couch cushions and breaking open my piggy bank I've gotten to that exciting point where I have enough extra cash to go through and get a lump of comics. Rather than spreading myself out over a wide variety of the series I'm interested in I've decided to collect up a run or story arc and go all out on it (or as all out as my budget and interest allows). After running through a bunch of different arcs, doing research, and weighing my interest I've finally narrowed it down to two choices: The Marvel Civil War or the DC War of Light. 
I have two virtual shopping carts prepared and they're about evened out when it comes to price. But I'm have a hard time deciding which I'd be more satisfied with. For both, I feel excited but not without reservations. It comes to this: I'll post up my two choices and maybe all of you out there in the Comic Vine universe can give my a hand deciding which to choose. You can back up your vote with reasons or just cast a simple vote. Either will be helpful.
Civil War: 

 
War of Light: 
 
Side notes: 1.) I know these volumes are not the trades everyone would choose, but just try to recommend based on what's here-- even you'd pick something else. For Example: Civil War: Spiderman instead of Ms. Marvel: Civil War-- etc. 2.)I'll likely buy both of these sets eventually, but it will be a while for which ever I don't purchase this time.
 
Thanks to anyone who helps me decide how to spend my cash.
