As far as judging the strength of those bars goes you need to take into account 3 main factors, wall thickness, material and radius of the bends. The greater the radius of the bend, the stronger they'll be, as the material on the outside of the bend won't have had to stretch as much, so it'll be thicker.
Of the two bars you mentioned I'd say the Eastern one is stronger, due to the thicker guage tubing.

I would recomend T1 bars. They are my fav. I've bent mine, but they are still fine after 2 years.

S&M or ODY I have Ody civilian bars on my specialized, I had to cut them down because they are pretty wide for me.
