Both of these brands are more widly known so I'd be interested in knowing if these products are high quality. My husband fed his yorkie Science Diet when he was a child and he really wants me to feed it to ours. I do NOT like regular SD so if anyone has any experience with this new line, I'd love to hear about it.

When a friend of mine adopted his cat, it was being fed science diet's nature's best. When we talked about cat food and what makes a good food, you can bet my suprise when he said "yeah his food has a lot of that!" and brought out science diet. The ingredients in their "nature's best" line isn't half bad - especially compared to some other companies and their normal line. I believe most of their line gets around... 104 on the grading scale. The only ingredients on their list that you can shake your finger at is the wheat (which is a toin coss) and the salt. With science diet's normal quality of ingredients though, I do have to question how good the quality of those ingredients actually are.
If you have to feed science diet, its certainly a lot better then the normal lines! When you look at them compared to other brands, I think the one defining point (beyond questionable quality if you believe that about them) is price. Is the price for this "premium" dog food less then another company that may have scored higher with less questionable quality? The last time I scoped out comparison a year or so ago... SD was still a bit more cost wise then the other more premium brands.
My friend's cat really wasn't fond of the food (and ate less then 1/8 of a cup of it a day because of that) so I can't really tell you if its a good food or not from personal experience or from anyone I've been in contact with - but if you have to feed SD it wouldn't be a horrible food to feed ingredient wise!
