I was considering both in the adult formulas, Core has potato as the carb and Small Breed has oatmeal, and ground brown rice as the starch, but that seems to be the major difference. I've heard potatoes don't have much besides energy to offer in nutrition, so, I think small breed might be slightly better, but I'm just guessing, and both sound nutritious enough. From my understanding, the source of protein and quality are the major deciding factors. Both have deboned chicken and chicken meal as their first and second ingredient which is excellent. Small Breed Adult has a very small kibble, and I know Wellness in other formulas, such as Simple Solutions, has a large kibble that was too large for one of my dogs, but I can't comment on the kibble size of Core. Since you are feeding a puppy, it probably doesn't make a difference, it should be small.
I'm also considering Nature's Logic, the puppy food and adult food are the same, and it has no starch. I'm thinking the way my two hold on to every pound, taking out the starch might be a good idea.
