Which is better? I like the uncured because it comes with a lot of "extras" on it, that make it look better. But are they both just as good for the tank? Thanks.

Uncured lr will make your bio filtration stronger because it will have more die off than cured lr. But your cycle will take longer to complete. Either one will work fine. If you use cured lr you will have to add a dead shrimp or something to help jump start your cycle.
If you're talking about an uncycled, not yet started tank, then, yea, get all the uncured rock you can...Don't add uncured to an established tank with living things. For that you'd want to add cured rock.
