Which is better, V-amp or Pod?

I'll make is short and sweet. Which one of these would work better for my style of playing, the v-amp or the pod? Black, symphonic, prog, neoclassical, death, gore, speed, thrash, heavy, viking, just don't call it nu, metal!! I want to use it as a pre and recording amp and will probably run it through a P.A system in the future. I have had experience with the original pod, and although I played it with a fender tele, I found it to be a bit weak sounding for most styles of metal. I haven't heard the v-amp yet, but I have heard good things.... suggestions?

I have a feeling the new v-amp is good too. Check out the forums on http://www.harmony-central.com/ i think there are quite a few sound clips that people have put up there of the new v-amp.
