College related: Help me choose, please!

[momto2Cs]

I am teaching remedial freshman comp this fall at the local university, and need to get my book order in by tomorrow. I am having a terrible time choosing which of two books to require. The college already requires all of them to get Emerging: Contemporary Readings for Writers, but I know I want them to have some more solid help with actually putting their writing together. Thoughts?

As it's a 2nd required book, I'd put some weight on the fact that They Say, I Say is considerably less expensive. 

 

I think it's also probably more accessible for your students while still having a lot of specifics and solid examples.
