Depends on what you use the car for. All out performance? Definitely Hotchkis.

Getting Hotchkiss Swaybars
My Z shop recommended the Hotchkiss bars front and rear for my 2019 370Z sport coupe, so that's what I'll be getting next week. I'll report on the results after I've driven the car with the new sways. The shop owner says that he's installed Hotchkiss bars on quite a few Zs and they do make a good improvement in handling. Part of the reason for my getting the stiffer bars is to correct for excessive positive camber changes during hard cornering and the consequent tire shoulder wear.

If you are going to install the rear bar. Put it on the softest setting. You might find out that the rear Hotchkiss is too stiff for any tire smaller than a 325.

Hotchkiss Sways
Thanks for the input on the behavior of the car with the rear Hotchkiss sways. I'll be sure to discuss this with the shop owner when I see him next week.
