Though I agree with Bumpy and Woodglue on the TPO as a better product, I wouldn't run from the rubber roofs. The EPDM material carries carries a 12 year warraranty and will last 20 plus years with just regular soap and water cleaning a few times a year.
What models of both are you looking at?
you agree that TPO is preferable. why then would you not get the better product as plenty are available at comparable prices. don't get sucked in on the 12 year warranty.

I chose not to go with a brand that had TPO because I am fully capable of replacing the rubber roof if needed. Didn't get sucked into the 12yr warranty as I know full well that it is only for the EPDM itself and nothing else, just like the 12yr warranty of a TPO roof, material only. Just used the warranty number as to when roof repair may need to be required. Treated as buying shingles for a house, could have bought the 25yr shingles, went with the 50yr ones instead of going life time with metal roofing. All on what your willing to accept when it comes to maintenance when they all eventually need it!
OP, as stated already, which one suits you better in layout and options. That would be the one I would lean too as they are of the same build type, except for the roof of course.;)
