perilite is the better of the two. It has alot of surface area I don't know the numbers some one put them out yesterday and it will evaporate way more water then the hydroton. perlite alone will give you 90+ moister where hydroton will need water sitting in the bottom with air stones.

Because the balls of perlite are smaller there will be a lot more surface area in the same volume of perlite than of Hydrotontm. A lot more surface area translates into a higher RH
