End mill question.
Anybody here who have used both of these kind of end mills and can tell which is best for wood working?

Neither.
I have used both of those a LOT, but not in wood.
They are both for metal cutting.
The bottom one is a roughing end mill and the top one is a finishing end mill both of which are for metal cutting.
A wood cutting end mill looks like the top one, but with one flute or two flutes.
