no, philo and HC philo is exactly the same option. noddys is saying about the situation when you are trying to philo both of em using a normal philo stone. hator will have the chance to get higher stat.
btw, not many chooses TCS over hator. because the 5% p.a is too valuable. plus, i would like to add, that sometimes, 2 hator with STR philo do gives higher p.attack instead of 2 hator with HC philo on both. still studying on that. its a complicated math, really <_<
