The Cell is a more versatile piece. I have drilled the Resurgence for a few guys and the majority state that is more condition specific for heavier patterns, in OOB condition. The Cell can handle pretty much, up to floods, down to medium dries. I would not even attempt to throw the Resurgence on medium dries. As far as ball death issues, if you maintain your equip well, with regular cleaning, both balls should last.
