Union vs. Prince of Wales

I've narrowed it down to these 2 hospitals, based on recommendations and close proximity to Shenzhen, where I stay.
Since I'm not a HK resident, it seems that I will have to pay nearly as much at POW as I will at Union.

So my question is WHICH ONE? I'm looking for
-ample baby time(preferably in my own room, which I know Union does not allow unless you have a private room which I will not)
- good breastfeeding guidance(this is my first)
- good help from the nurses
- and all around doctoral expertise. Post-natally this is very important, because my baby may be predisposed to a (easily fixable though serious) congenital defect from Mommy (pyloric stenosis - baby will have 20% chance of developing it), and also to address possible concerns of downs syndrome and its accompanying ailments (I was given a higher risk than normal).

Above all, this is my first baby, I don't know what I'm doing, so I need people who do know, and I would also like to enjoy the experience as much as possible.
I would appreciate any advice about whether to go public and private (when the cost is the same) and specifically about these two contenders.
Thanks so much!
