Which plan should I chose?

Help!

I'm not sure which of these two plans would be a better value for me. I will have kind of a lot of medication (probably mostly generic) and mental/behavioral health costs and probably a decent amount of PCP visits as well, but not too much (Could be every 3 months for controlled substance Rx, but I am going to try to get a non-controlled alternative). The provider is Florida Blue and my two options are 14471 BlueCare Essential HSA (HMO) for $101.22 bi-weekly or 18756 SimplyBlue Predictable Cost (HMO) for $130.96 bi-weekly. Initially I was going to go straight for the latter as the deductible is about half of the other one and it's only $60 more per month, but the HSA covers just about 100% after the deductible. Also, I'm not sure what Value Choice Provider means, so I don't know if that will be relevant.

I guess I can't add pics of benefit details, so here's a spreadsheet:

TIA for any advice!
