Well ones a MKV & the other is a MKIV. Depends what tank you want i suppose. 

Peter Pig also do some http://www.peterpig.co.uk/range16.htm.

They have a good mail order service (or they always used to )

Well, as mentioned before, it depends on the tank you want.

Q.R.F. has an interesting choice of WWI vehicles, but the casting quality (particularly with the older ones of that range) is sometimes very disappointing, so expect much grinding, bending, filling and... cursing. 

The Minifigs Mk. IV comes as either as bull (male) or bitch (female) variant. Minifigs vehicles are quite cleanly cast, but require some dry-fit before glueing. I would recommend them.

AFAIK Peter Pigs Mk. IV tanks are made of resin with some metal parts. The downside is that there's only a male variant. And it is a bit pricey compared to the Minifigs one. What I don't like is the modeled-on base. But that's just me. I base my vehicles only if there's no other way.

Hope this helps.

Blimey, that QRF looks like its 1/300th in that pic.

Cheapskates like me would use 1/72nd Emhar kits @ £6 a pop

Peter Pig THEY DO MALE AND FEMALE VERSIONS BOTH VERY NICE THE BASES ARE VERY SMALL AND THEY COST £6.50 which isnt that bad I think , each to there own but after buying 3 different makes PIGS are the ones I kept.

Late in the war I know, but my 15mm QRF MarkV in Soviet markings. A bit of filing and tidying up which you'd expect but overall not a bad kit.

An earlier pic of the same loading dock but in better focus

qrf makes some beautiful vehicles in 15mm. i've always been pleased with them, but i don't think you could go wrong with peter pig and minifig either.
