Teri, HCL stands for "high contrast lens" they are intended to improve contrast during hazy, overcast, or foggy days. Both lenses are polarized so they should help reduce reflection and glare off of things like glass and water. They should both serve similar functionality, but if you are in constant hazy/foggy environments I would go for the glasses with the HCL lens, otherwise go for whatever you think looks the best.
