Which do you recommend? The Safale Yeast or Wyeast Pacman? I know Rogue uses Pacman in most of their ales, but do you see a difference in either?
Too early to tell as the US05 batch got done much faster than the batch with the older, less-viable Pacman starter added. In fact, these probably won't even serve as good comparisons due to the age of the respective yeasts used. I'd have to do it again with new yeasts and another starter with the Pacman to really compare the two.
I will, however, definitely vouch for US05. It's always done great for me, especially with my extract batches of this recipe. AG sample tasted great (though not quite the same as extract versions) after crash cooling for a couple days and moving to the keg.
