I'm not familiar with those two but the best I've found lately were VCN to invest in canadian companies and XUU to invest in american companies. What attracted me to these was the lowest management fees. Keep in mind you may have to pay a foreign withholding tax on any earnings when investing in US stocks as a Canadian. However if you're investing with an rrsp you may be able to get it back. Its kind of a complicated system but you can find some info on google. I dont believe that foreign withholding tax is all that much to worry about unless you are investing $500,000+. Keep in mind I'm not a pro at this, just been doing a fair bit of research since I was holding some cash before the stock market tanked.
