Where Dwarf Planet Size Comparison wins
Dwarf Planet Size Comparison wins when the question is specifically about the five recognized dwarf planets - it is the only explorer on this site that lines up Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris against each other at one consistent scale.
Where Planet Size Comparison wins
Planet Size Comparison wins when the question is about the Sun and the eight IAU planets - Jupiter's true scale against Earth, for example, is not something the dwarf-planet page attempts to show.
A reasonable rule
As a reasonable rule, use Planet Size Comparison for the eight planets and the Sun, use Dwarf Planet Size Comparison for Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris, and use Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud 3D Explorer when the question is about the Kuiper Belt as a region rather than about any one named body. The published figures in each panel stay accurate either way.
