There are quite a few differences between the knobs:
1. Anarchy Motiv is stainless steel and weighs well over a pound whereas the Team Voodoo knob is aluminum and weighs slightly less than the stock knob.
2. Anarchy Motiv comes in a wide gambit of colors; Team Voodoo you have four choices I think?
3. Anarchy Motiv is much more expensive than the Team Voodoo knob.
4. Anarchy Motiv knob is larger overall, not just the weight, and it sits much higher when installed because the Team Voodoo knob has recessed threads.
I wouldn't really say one knob is better than the other because they're tailored to two different types of shifting. The Anarchy Motiv knob is an absolutely spectacular knob for people who want plush shifts with minimal effort. You'll rarely see the Anarchy knob vibrating as you idle because of the sheer mass. All you need to get the knob to fall into its gate is a swift nudge.
By contrast, the Team Voodoo knob is much better suited to people who prefer crisp feeling shifts. If you want to experience a taut shifter with no vagueness whatsoever, this is your knob. Satisfying clicks as you row through the gears. There's a bit more effort involved to work through the gears, but you never have to wonder which gate you're about to slide into.
I think both shift knobs are spectacular at what they're designed for. Ultimately, as my transmission broke in more, I found myself preferring a crisper feeling shifter over a smoother feeling one. And now that I've discovered the wonders of Engine Enamel Paint, I no longer have to worry about burnt hands or peeled off plasti dip!
