Is there a post with some clear information on the pros and cons on each of these? Thanks for the help. Been searching for a few days and having trouble locating clear and concise data on this.

Basically, Scrypt-N has an adaptive N factor, which changes periodically. ASICs can only be designed for one N factor, which means that once the N factor changes, the ASIC is useless.

x11 is 11 algorithms combined. blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo.

Basically they are both ASIC resistant.
