Both are good but they are different as they should be since they are based on different SSL units.
Biggest thing to consider is the Waves SSL works with LE the Duende may need some help.
People have gotten inconsistent results with FW LE systems and FW drives.
Some HD guys had issues as well.
A couple of people added a dedicated FW bus for the Duende and it helped.
Also the Waves SSL seems to use less CPU than the Gold bundle??
I think it was over at GearSlutz that some comparisons were also done so you might want to search there.
For me I was impressed with the Duende but didn't see it being worth the potential problems so I went with the Waves and that was somewhere round January and I havew been really happy with it.
