Short answer: the W-King T12. It ranks #21 of 51 party speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $379.99 and is still sold new; the Samsung MX-ST50B ranks #25 (rated 3.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The W-King T12 is the longer-running choice. A large wheeled karaoke party speaker with dual 8 inch woofers, bass and treble knobs, and a long battery for big outdoor events. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 18 for the Samsung MX-ST50B. Watch for: Reviewer comparisons find the tuning boxy and less clear than the better-ranked party speakers, so its size and quoted power do not automatically translate to refined sound.
The Samsung MX-ST50B is the lighter, tougher option. A splash resistant party tower with two woofers, karaoke input, app EQ, and linking for up to ten speakers. At 26.2 lbs (11.9 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the W-King T12 at 33.1 lbs (15 kg). It is rated IPX5, while the W-King T12 has no water resistance. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the W-King T12 lacks. The catch: Output drops sharply to 90W on battery, so it needs mains power for its full impact.
Buy the W-King T12. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Samsung MX-ST50B is discontinued, so it is only available used.
