I would say the Bee Watermelons. If you're a magician, The silver pips on the Gargolyes just reflects light like mad and you end up having a deck that looks like a blank face deck. If you're into cardistry, the Bee Watermelon has thick Bee stock and an awesome, AWESOME back design that just stands up from the rest of the other decks you can find. The back design is such an happy design as compared to decks being produced nowadays, All being so dark. If you're just a collector, The Bee Watermelons are a classic vintage deck that are relatively hard to find, I'll recommend these. The only downside of the watermelons is that they use the Standard Bicycle pips and the usual Bee AOS and Jokers. If your looking for a more customized deck, then the Gargoyles will be better. So all in all, I would recommend the Bee Watermelons. I just wished I had some of them for myself:D
