It more or less appears the major difference is that Cellmass is the esterified version and NO-Xplode is the monohydrate version. Other than that, the Xplode has some neurotransmitters.

Common neurotransmitters or neurotransmitter precursors include phosphatidyl choline (found in lecithin), dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, and gamma-aminobenzoic acid (GABA). They can be rather effective in boosting CNS activity pre-workout or even aiding in CNS recovery post-workout (the latter of which is great for powerlifters and strength athletes)

Per your final question, if I had to choose a single neurotransmitter, it would definitely be high-choline lecithin.

Furthermore, you should get an egg-based lecithin, not a soy-based lecithin:

3* Soy lecithin contains the trypsin inhibitor (known for its multiple negative effects), highly toxic lysinoalanine, carcinogenic nitrosamines, high levels of aluminum, and potent neurotoxins such as free-glutamic acid which are formed during soy processing.
