Both of these stone types are top quality stones that will work on any steel and leave a razor sharp edge. It largely comes down to personal preference.
Matrix stones are made in the USA and have a slightly softer bond than the Venev stones. The maker of the Matrix stones recommends edge trailing sharpening strokes due to the softer bond. With Venev stones you can sharpen any way you prefer - edge leading, trailing, scrubbing etc.
The Matrix stones have a very nice milled aluminum backing which looks and works great. The Venev Orion stones have an aluminum backing which has been cut in stead of milled, but also works well.
