Now to the clips: just watched 'em both - no sync problems. As has been stated previously, it is unfair to analyse rough cuts too much. Therefore I'll try to keep my comments to content, rather than other editing issues.
For my money, the CC cut is the better of these two, as they are now. Why? Because of the removal of Jar-Jar's antics in Watto's store, which add nothing to the scene. Once Qui-Gon leaves, we want to get to Anakin/Padme's interaction. In this vein, I'd suggest also cutting Qui-Gon's line "Don't touch anything", as this is only an intro to Jar-Jar's (now cut) antics. So the cut would follow Watto's line "We'll find what you need".
Also, the opening scene of the MTH cut, on board the ship, doesn't work as it is now: a) Qui-Gon's reference to "spaceports like this" doesn't follow from the announcement of "Tatooine"; b) Panaka's line/Qui-Gon's reaction just don't seem to fit here. I understand the desire to remove the Panaka scene outside the ship and that has potential. The problem with the CC cut in that respect is that Qui-Gon's reaction is totally inappropriate to Padme arriving to join them, without the idea having been mentioned before.
One technical note (oops, cheat) is that I don't think it will be possible to get acceptably high video quality with the amount of zoom required to crop the characters out of the city shot.
Anyway, it's great to actually see some of the ideas and I think there are constructive possibilities to posting clips.
