Embarassed Wellness vs Solid Gold?? and other questions

It's taken me a while to whittle my food choices down and I am left with these two...their puppy foods of course. Their first 5 ingredients are:

Wellness Just For Puppy
deboned chicken, chicken meal, oatmeal, ground barley and salmon meal
Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy
lamb, lamb meal, ocean fish meal, brown rice, cracked barley

I just don't know which is better! They are only a few dollars different in price so that is not an issue, I just cannot decide between the two!

Also, he is coming to me already on Iams puppy chow...how long should I wait to start slowly adding the new (better) food? I've heard you can start on day one/two and also that you should wait a few weeks for him to get used to his new home so changing food doesn't add stress.

About free-feeding. I know I don't want to free feed, at least until potty training is complete, but should I at first, just to see how much he will eat? Or should I start him on a meal schedule when he first comes home?

Sorry for so many questions and thank you!!!
