omnidrive vs. kiwi

I have been surfing around looking at lots of omnidrives (4 omni wheels) and kiwi drives (3 omni wheels), and I am wondering which of the two is better?

The omnidrives would probably have more available power, but perhaps more friction as well?

Also, how do they drive? With the example of an omnidrive, do all 4 wheels spin during straight motion? Or do just the two oposite each other turn, and the other two coast?

I would experiment, but at the moment i only own 2 omni wheels .
