Funny you ask as I was going to post something.
First off, I'm absolutely sold on hori horis as a tool.
As for the Japeto one, I haven't used my mum's Niwaki but I would say that for prolonged use without gloves the Japeto has hotspots due to the handle design. With gloves it's absolutely fine. I like that it's stainless as I'm not diligent about cleaning. Overall it does look nicer as a gift, but I'll let someone else chime in on the Niwaki.
From pics the Barebones hori hori handle looks the best. It's just a shame how expensive it is with a sheath...and the fucking stupid edc/kickstarter-esque bottle opener.

I recall someone previously doing a comparison of the Japeto and Niwaki Hori Hori trowels, but I can't seem to find it now.
I'm now at the point of purchasing one as a gift - has anyone got any views on whether one is better than the other, or are they pretty much the same?
Thanks!
Edit: Found it!
@hugo7 have you had any more thoughts since your initial views?
