I don't think comparing the two (ie NWoD to OWoD and Classic/Cinematic Uni) is a good thing. There's big difference between the two (ie Classic still being majorly supported, and can be crossover with minimal effort, whereas NWoD is not backward compatible, as they're basically removing all traces of the Storyteller systems founder, Mark Rein-Hagen, and putting their own stamp on things).

As for AoD: It's a good book, but (and this is just mho) not as good as Angel or Buffy Revised are. I find it lacking in as there are no rules for creating your own deadites, and thus never invested in it. It's still a quality book though, even with my one complaint regarding it.

And Steve Trustrum's two books (Odyssey Prime and Armageddon Creature book) are up there in quality to. I think Eden's ability to release consistent quality releases makes up for the long time it takes for said books to actually come out. I don't expect BH to be any different.
