The big difference (aside from port count) between the PACDrive and LEDWiz is that the LEDWiz has the ability to set a variable intensity (0-48) for each port. For single color LEDs this allows you to set how bright they light up. For RGBs, the intensity is used to set a wide range of colors. You can use a PACDrive with RGBs but you'll only be able to set 7 colors; R, G, B, RG, RB, GB, RGB.

The type of button switches you use has a lot to do with personal preference. For example, if you want your buttons to react like they did in the old classics, then go with leaf switches. Leafs can also be adjusted to make your buttons ultra sensitive. Micro switches (Cherry are most popular) are maintenance free and very durable, but some don't like the clicking and some feel they are not as responsive as leafs. I've tried Micros, Micro/Leaf hybrid and pure Leaf switches - and personally I can't tell much difference in performance (IMO).

I would recommend just using the cherries (what most buttons come with) and if you don't like them, buy 1 of each other type and test.  Personally the clicking sound is really barely audible when mounted and I prefer the click of the microswitch style anyway.
