With all that said, the S.O.T.R study Bible is the winner because of the overall notes and additional materials.
My suggestion. Get both! | 
However, (though I have both) I find that I tend to reach for the (NKJV) New Geneva Study Bible before either of the others. I prefer the NKJV over either NIV or ESV ... but I'm wierd like that.
