On The TNF website it says it's 300 weight fleece but at backcountry says it's 200 weight fleece??? I want to get this fleece jacket for a very active boy, would the jacket be able to stand up to constant wash and not pile up or would the apex be a better jacket for an active boy?

The Khumbu is a 300 weight fleece. The Khumbu would hold up well for you, the fabric will be very pil resistant for a very long time. The Bionic is a nice choice as well - certainly a bomber fabric, and more wind/water resistant than the Khumbu, but obviously not as warm with a lighter fleece backing. You can always layer under it, so the Bionic would make a nice choice.
