I have the blue/black swirl by AFS and the white by Triple Crown. As stated before, the main differences between the two are as follows:
AFS:
Shiny, gloss gatefold
Inner sleeves are plain black
Copy of the cd booklet in larger format
TCR:
Matte/cardboard gatefold
Inner sleeves are cd inner cover
Lyric sheet
Plastic (if still sealed or on the record) has a white sticker with the album title
Now for some of the other information you are looking for:
Looking at both of them side by side I'd say I prefer the TCR just for the simple fact of the lyric sheet but as far as clarity/quality of artwork the AFS wins as the artwork is brighter and much clearer and the color choices (in my opinion) are much better. Both records feel and look to be the same weight but don't quote me on that.
Other differences:
The center labels on the AFS say "The Devil" (A1) "& God" (A2) "Are Raging" (B1) "Inside Me" (B2) along with the tracks that are on each side. The center labels for the TCR pressing simply show a circular timeline with the track length for the songs pressed on that side and an "A" "B" "C" or "D" to tell you which side you're listening too, however it does not tell you the song titles, though I'm sure if you're dropping the money on this you know the general album flow and which song is where.
Matrix info:
TCR says "8506-TPC 103099-1 (A) S-70526 XC" on side 1 and the only change for each side is that the "(A)" changes to a B, C and D and the serial number changes to S-70527, S-70528, S-70529.
AFS says "B001-39460-1-A", "B001-39460-1-B-RE-1", "B001-39460-1-C-RE-1" and "B001-39460-1-D-RE-1".
As for sound quality I can't help out as I currently have a crappy Crosley that I'm working on upgrading.
Hope that helps and best of luck!

same here. I REALLY wish that Floating World got pressed.
