We have those too and I've used both. The Coats thread seems to work better in most machines and the Gutermann thread either works really good, or not worth a hoot.
About the only thread I've found that seams to work in every machine I've tried it in is serger thread. Some months ago I posted a thread where I made a widget and was using the serger thread in my 66 treadles. I've since used that in several old and older machines and it's worked good in all of them. I haven't broken it once. But I've also been told it's not really good for piecing as it's lighter weight than regular thread.
