Short answer: the Klipsch Gig XXL on value, the JBL Partybox Club 120 on convenience. The Gig XXL is really amazing value for the money at $79.99 against $399.95, but it is not quite as clean sounding as the top ranked speakers. The Club 120 answers with a convenient handle and wheels, at its high price.
Buy the JBL Partybox Club 120 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Klipsch Gig XXL if the price is the priority over sound quality.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the JBL Partybox Club 120 at IPX4 (splashing) against the Klipsch Gig XXL, which has no water resistance.
