Tough one. Probably depends on what you need this EQ to do for you. To be completely honest, and assuming you're asking with money a non-factor, I'd probably choose the REQ. It's more versatile and has better ergonomics. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's 'better' in an absolute or qualitative sense (I get great results when I use my PassEQ, and really do like it), but the REQ is a do-more box, no doubt about it. Putting that kind of control over this style of EQ makes it rather unique, I think.
One tangential thing to note about the REQ is that it does run pretty hot. The PassEQ is also 4U, but seems to run cool enough that it can merely occupy its chassis' own rackspace needs, while I'd think the REQ needs some breathing room around it in the rack, making it potentially a 6RU space committment.
Cheers!
