Superior Drummer 3 can do everything EZdrummer 3 does, and much more. The only thing where EZdrummer 3 is actually better than Superior Drummer is the Grid Editor. EZdrummer has a really nice automatic humanization feature which Superior Drummer has not.
Both are great, but I'd say go for Superior Drummer if the extra cost is acceptable for you.

Both have free trials. Download them and spend some time with them. I have both, but if I could only have one it would be SD3.

Found someone selling licences for Stockholm and Legacy of Rock for $30 each which I couldn’t pass up.
That room at Air studios sounds incredible and the low end just sounds enormous.
Stockholm is rad for drier/tighter sounds, a bit like the old Custom & Vintage SDX. Awesome stuff.

Go with EZDrummer if ya just want some decent sounding drums right away without a ton of tweakability. The kits are already EQ’d and you don’t really have much for options to change how they sound.
Go with Superior if you want to/enjoy tweaking drum sounds from raw drum sounds. There’s plenty of EQ’d kits to use, but the major selling point for me, the actual reason I got it, was because I got pissed off one day over a snare sound in EZD I couldn’t change. The onboard mixer is pretty damn great and the only time I multi-out the drums into Logic is when I need to automate stuff that would be a pain in the ass to do in the plugin.
You can use both the same way, but one allows you to dig far deeper if you want to.

I’m jealous, that’s a STEAL for those expansions.

Yeah, unfortunately someone else got in before me and grabbed a few others that I didn't have. Can't complain though.
Unfortunately titled URL, but https://knobcloud.com/ has lots of great deals on plugins and instruments, especially for stuff that doesn't go on sale very often.

Wish they still had an upgrade from SD2. I wasn't around when SD3 came out, but I've owned 2 since right after it was released. I don't even qualify for the cross grade pricing, which is crazy. I own like 8 expansions, too
