I use both; Lippincott more so for board questions, and Saunders for content.

I completely agree with this. Lippincott, from what I hear, is much more similar to the type of questions you'll see on the NCLEX, i.e. more application and analysis questions. I've done Saunders questions, and they are exactly as you described: for content review. Saunders questions are more straight knowledge questions than the more critical thinking application and analysis questions. This helps to reinforce the content that you need to apply​ for higher level NCLEX questions. So, both serve different purposes, but if you only can choose one, I would go with Lippincott.

Thank you pmabraham... ☺
