Actually it is more like Retail vs Hobby. I picked up 3 packs of 07 Goudey out of the Target Bargain Bin and 3 packs of 08 Goudey Hobby at a card show. Previously I had only picked up 1 pack of each product. The 07 Goudey was a bad experience, I was unimpressed with the cards in that first pack, and it appeared to have already been opened - I have avoided that hobby shop since. I chronicled my first 08 Goudey Pack a few weeks ago, it was awesome - read more here.
The 08 will probably have an advantage because it is Hobby over Retail - Lets see what happens.

HPC-22 Nolan Ryan Berk Ross Hit Parade of Champions
HPC-22 Nolan Ryan Berk Ross Hit Parade of Champions
Card Design - 2008 - I like the 08s better in general. I prefer the traditional card size, and the sharper color scheme.
Phillies - 2008 - 3 Phils with both Utley and Howard. Easy Win.
Base Cards - 2008 - slight Win for 08, 07 Ramon Hernandez was my one duplicate, and I think I may have 3 of that card now. Liked all of the HOF players in the 08 set.
Inserts/Short Prints - 2007 - Reggie Heads Up beats out Winfield SP and Ryan Berk Ross card. I am not sure what the other Hit Parade of Champions look like, but this one just looks out of place amongst the rest of the Goudeys. The small size makes it feel like a crummy cracker jack prize.
Price - 2007 - $5.06 for 3@ 1.59 each + 6% sales Tax. v 12.00 for 3 08 Goudey @ 4.00 pack
Winner 2008 Despite the price difference, I just like the set better in general. The Three Phillies really put the three 08 packs ahead.
I will be adding some of these to my personal collection, if any of the others are needed by set builders, I am open to offers.
