I'm new to pedals too, but from what I've read: the ideal pedal design for grip has taller pins on the outside that encompass the perimeter of your foot, & smaller ones on the inside so the ball of your foot can sink into the pedal to keep your feet secure, but still have pins to grip so your feet don't slip/twist at all. That said, neither of these pedals has this sort of design & I haven't seen it on anything <$100 range, but the Wellgo's look the best for grip design.
