One simply does not have a 2-band EQ. The other one does. If you want a 2-band EQ and a Stingray sound... then the active is for you.
If you don't care so much about having a preamp... then the passive may be enough. It will still sound quite Stingray-like (if it has the alnico pickup wired in parallel... it seems some do and some don't... I'm confused about this, Ou7shined knew a thing or two about this).
I'd go for the active one, which is the most commonly found version, incidentally.
