Depends on what sort of campaign you're looking to run, and what you're looking for out of your purchase.
If you're playing in Rebellion Era, then I strongly recommend tFU, as the wealth of info it provides on not only the Dark Times but on the Empire and its forces in general is a great boon to GMs. I found the whole "Unleashed" stuff to be pretty ho-hum, as really just a codified way of saying "here's what you can do when you spend a Destiny Point." The new PrCs are interesting, but none of them really scream "must have it!"
If you're looking for player options in general, I'd probably go with KOTOR instead, as it does have a wealth of options for players of any stripe and class
I'd also suggest saving up your pennies so you can get the other one ASAP, as they really are both great sourcebooks. I just happen to like KOTOR a wee bit more

That really is one of those YMMV kinds of things. I'd go to the store, look through them both, and then see which one "speaks" to you. For my money, you should have both!

Over all, I was more impressed with KOTOR (though I liked tFU). I would buy either for the statblocks for enemies, but unfortunately, WoTC has yet to put out abook where they consistantly stat out the enemies correctly.
I tried to run a quick anti-mandalorian KOTOR game with friends and was depressed to find they had only added half the level to about half the enemy's defenses.
ANNOYING!
Anyway, KOTOR, I feel, has more useable character options. tFU has a lot of good to it as well, but not like KOTOR.

I got KotOR last night, and it's a great book. I say get that one!
Besides, do you really want a book whose initials are FU?

No, but it's good, too; if I wasn't such a KotOR fanboy, it would be a coinflip.

I haven't looked at the stat blocks in detail yet, but do these enemies in question have nonheroic levels? Because those don't add to defense scores.
