Xylotex or Gecko step driver for my Mill/Drill?

Sitting here with no money to continue BUYING parts to retrofit my Mill/Drill... plotting and
scheming WHAT to buy when I DO have money...

I have 3 stepper motors (courtesy Dan Mauch at Camtronics). I bought the "H34011__Step
motor 680 oz in 2A 3.4. ohms" motors.

NOW I'm looking at driver boards...
My top three contenders were;
Stepperworld.com's FET-3 board, but I ruled that one out because it's a unipolar only
board.

Gecko 201/210;
They certainly have a good following!
Reading the specs, I don't know which would be "better" for my setup, the 201 or the 210.
What's the practical difference?

The Other leading contender is the Xylotex 3 axis board..
Again, good following. Considerably cheaper than buying 3 Gecko's.

Keeping in mind;
1) I'm an electrical idiot... hookup instructions with nice clear pictures and using small
words are preferred, and
2) This Mill Drill will be used for steel and aluminum parts, but I'm happy to be patient and
take LIGHT cuts if necessary.

Which of the two (Gecko201/210 or Xylotex) would be "better"? Or in this case, should I let
price decide? I admit, I would PREFER to NOT spend the extra on the Gecko's... but if that's
what it takes to build a decent system, I WILL.

Thanks in advance!
