Hot vs. Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper - Which is better for backgrounds?

How does hot pressed watercolor paper holds up under water-heavy backgrounds as compared to cold pressed paper? I decided to put it to the test today and create two cards using the Blogging Buddies stamp set from Mama Elephant.

For comparison, I used Arches Hot Pressed Watercolor Paper and Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper. (Links to online stores below).
