I think you're wise to consider the actual driving you do when making the selection.
Since I only drive street/highway now, I really appreciate the flat torque curve of the 4.6 in my '09 Bullitt Mustang. Horsepower numbers alone are great for bragging rights, but they don't necessarily translate to pleasant driving.
(edit) The numbers shown don't tell the tale of the internals used in each engine. That might also figure in, with me opting for forged or hypeutectic pistons, forged crank, better rods, etc.
