Except for bad weather and ultra precision rifles I always wondered about using a synthetic stock that weighed about the same as a wood one. I think if you Swiss cheesed a laminate stock enough it would be in the same weight range. Solid wood might be even lighter if hollowed out.

My preference is wood or hold off for a light weight stock.

Both of those stocks are good though. I would guess the HS is slightly stronger but you would have to run over it with a truck to tell the difference.
