Looks to me like both have plenty of potential.
The showa is far from finished, and while the sumi in the hi plates is up well, it is still mostly submerged on the shiroji. I would guess that as the submerged sumi matures and comes up to the surface it will consolidate better in the beni giving it a tighter, more finished look.
As to the Sanke, the immature sumi looks to be very well placed. Since your water is Sumi friendly I'd say you have a lot to look forward to. The best part about the Sanke is the fact that it is male and not prematurely finished. It could be a real looker in a year or two.
BTW, good bodies on both.
