Short answer: Omlet Eglu Pro wins this one, 9.1/10 against 8.1/10, mainly on warranty and cleaning. OverEZ Medium Coop answers with room per hen and assembly time.
What really separates them?
Plastic against wood at nearly the same price: $2,079 for the Eglu Pro, $1,899 for the OverEZ Medium, both sold for ten hens. The floor is close too, 16.7 sq ft against 18.3. Everything else differs. The Pro has slide-out trays, 2 inches of insulation, a 10-year warranty and 180 days of free returns. The Medium has three nest boxes instead of one, goes up in under an hour according to OverEZ, and looks like a small barn; it states no warranty length and has no tray. Neither includes a run. If you clean every week, the Pro repays you every week.

How many hens does each one really hold?
Omlet Eglu Pro: 10 large hens or 15 small ones (Omlet); house of 16.7 sq ft, so 5 hens at 3 sq ft each. OverEZ Medium Coop: up to 10 chickens (OverEZ); house of 18.3 sq ft, so 6 hens at 3 sq ft each. The brand's number counts hens that sleep inside and spend the day in a run. The 3 sq ft figure is the minimum indoor space extension services publish for birds that also sit out bad weather in the house. See how big a chicken coop should be.
Which one keeps predators out better?
Omlet Eglu Pro: two-step locks ("anti-raccoon handles"); weld-mesh run with tighter mesh low down and an anti-tunnel skirt when you add the run. OverEZ Medium Coop: lockable latches on the egg box, the man door and the chicken door; screened window. We count four protections a brand can publish: locking latches, welded mesh or hardware cloth, a barrier against digging, and a closed house raised off the ground. No coop is predator proof without a door shut at dusk.

OverEZ Medium Coop: a 17 x 38 in man door to reach inside; no tray or removable floor described; 2 gable vents, an opening screened window, radiant-barrier ceiling "to keep the coop cooler in the summer heat". Run: Omlet Eglu Pro, not in the base price: 6 ft run +$400, 9 ft +$720, walk-in run option; OverEZ Medium Coop, no run: wire panels and 8 ft wooden runs ($1,899) are sold separately.
