Admittedly, I don't know what either of these controllers does, but 
with TR, here's how I (and I think most) folks set it up:

LPT1 - use for paddle input and sending CW to rig 1
LPT2 - use for sending CW to rig 2
COM1 - radio control rig 1
COM2 - radio control rig 2

Or similar.  I think the COMs can be used simultaneously for radio 
control and keying, but I never got it to work out, and the above 
configuration works FB for me.

No relays needed...TR takes care of which rig does the sending.  RX 
audio is handled like Rich says...with a simple box that allows 
listening to either Rig 1, Rig 2, or both rigs (one in each ear).  I 
use a 3 position stereo guitar switch (nice big handle!), some folks 
use a separate toggle for each ear to select which radio is the 
source.

YMMV...
