Both of those should be good.
In general, there's three reasons why a fountain pen would be scratchy: it's got a very fine point (European EF or Asian F or EF), it's a broad stub or italic with a sharp corner that requires changes to your writing style, or there's something wrong with it.
The short answer is that there's probably something wrong with them. If you want to make the effort, YouTube has some instructional videos on improving them; you'll need some very fine abrasives such as very fine micromesh. I recommend SBREBrown.
