Short answer: the Moondrop Pudding. It ranks #315 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $49.99; the Juzear Nimbus ranks #445, rated 4.0/5, at $49.99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
Why pick the Moondrop Pudding: The median of 16 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 75 with a 1.50 dB spread. The catch: Presence sits about 3.8 dB low with a 5.5 dB dip near 2.3 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Why pick the Juzear Nimbus: The median of 13 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 1.80 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.8 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Watch for: Presence sits about 3.2 dB low with a 5.4 dB dip near 5.8 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the Moondrop Pudding. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Juzear Nimbus at the same price, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
