IMHO, there is no difference. If there is a short in the HIDs, the fuse will blowout before any serious damages happen. Also, HIDs run at a lower wattage compared to halogens.

4500k or 5000k definitely a good choice for color.

As for your original question, I would just PM the Xenon depot rep on forum. Not sure what the differences are either XD

I went with the Extreme because it's been out for at least 5 years and has a great track record.The digital is newer product.

Did you guys have to adjust the headlight aim since the HIDs are much brighter than the halogens?
