Longest range is typically associated with higher gain as it allows the antenna to gather a bit more useful signal power than the lower gain antenna. Having a rotor is a real plus when dealing with the most directional antennas.
The DB8e seems to have higher or equal gains across all frequencies compared to the 91XG. That's what makes it difficult for me to decide between the two.
