Please your opinion. What is difference and what is best.

They are both M2A2 ODS vehicles that are currently in use. The main difference is that the Tamiya one best represents a partially rebuilt to ODS standard M2A2. Academy's represents a new-build M2A2 ODS. To me, Academy's is a better kit since it has some of Tamiya's issues fixed, sort of. For example, while still not deep enough, the drive sprockets have lightening holes, as opposed to Tamiya's solid dish sprockets. It also has most of the ODS upgrade pieces already in the kit, unlike Tamiya's, which only has a few ODS upgrades. The major drawback to the Academy kit is that it still has the old-style chevron block track, and to add further insult to injury, they are molded with the rubber pads 180 degrees out. You can replace the tracks with Blast resin ones, buy a set of rubber-band square block ones from Tamiya for about $5 + shipping, buy a set of the rediculously priced Fruil metal ones, or AFV Club is supposed to be releasing a plastic indi-link square block set as well.

Both will benefit from Pawel's Bradley upgrade article.

Here are reviews on each from PMMS.
