Which is better? Or is there even a difference?

The Innovative one has the edges rounded off so you don't dig into the ball at not exactly 0/0 on the mill. 

Other than that they are both pretty much the same concept.  I think Jayhawk has 2 different sizes you can buy based on plugs and slugs.   

You can buy the Innovative replacement blade for your current plug cutter if you have one and save a few bucks from buying the whole thing.

Is there a right rpm speed for the drill press when cutting plugs? I just hate that sometimes I have to switch speed between drilling balls and cutting plugs.

I have my drill press set to 450 rpm. I drill balls AND cut plugs at that speeed.
Never had an issue doing both at that speed.

Never reAd about using the cutter to zero my press. Figured that one out by myself. If your cutter is not zeroed, you can not cot all the way down without gouging the ball.

Like the tape around the plug idea. I have an older AMF jig and the ball walks a minute  it with it at times. 

I use a bevel knife to finish up and then a bevel sander both on plug work and Switch Grips.
