Derek, I would go for the Hexus. It has tire levers and Allen wrenches, and those are the most important repair tools you can have. The Alien 2 seems to have more than most commuters would need.
As convenient as the multi-tools are for on-road repair, for work at home, you'll be much happier with a shop tool kit.
I have an older edition of the Bicycling Magazine repair book, and I do recommend it.
