Since they are both entry level setups, I'd go with the cheaper one.
Don't worry, you still won't break it. But you always get what you pay for.
You'll be fine with either

I only did a quick glance, but they look like the same kits. But the bigger question is what kind of shooting are you doing. These are video kits. They may - or may not - work for still photography. CFL bulbs are generally considered low output for still photography. They're OK for some subjects but may not work for others (little kids jumping around for instance.)

I use studio flashes (strobes) and rolls of green chromakey paper for my greenscreen still photos.

Examples:

Notice the residual green on the front lettering of her shirt - need to clean that up.
