The Marcus demos are generally of more value than the House in the Woods ones. This is partly because all the HITW ones have the dreaded drum machine and therefore sound (as you might expect) like cheaper versions of the album tracks, whereas the Marcus demos are more like Heavenly versions with Sean banging away.
There are exceptions to this rule. I found the HITW demo of Crucifix Kiss to be the better of the two and Little Baby Nothing bears repeated listens if only for having a different vocalist. Spectators of Suicide and Methadone Pretty have their points of interest too. At the other end of the scale, Slash 'N' Burn and Motorcycle Emptiness are one listen only. I couldn't even make it to the end of ME one time!
