Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't know either of the products you mention, but there are some general areas to look at in quality pavers. First, compressed concrete pavers are more durable than any other type. Most manufacturers of quality pavers will specify the strength of this compression, higher is better. Most pavers intended for pedestrian traffic are 2 to 2 1/2" thick. Other things to look for are consistency in the dimensions of the pavers, on all 3 planes, consistency in the color and texture, and overall appearance. Tumbled products are more costly due to the extra handling involved in the tumbling process.

As with most other products, you generally get what you pay for when it comes to pavers.
