The two Pastels is a sure thing for more Pastels and a chance for a Super.
The two Het 100% Albino are a chance for an Albino and a chance for more Hets or Normals.
Get whichever one gives you the most thrill to work with.
*correction on the absolute terminology.

Remember biology and punnett squares?
| Quote: | | The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach, and is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. The Punnett square is a summary of every possible combination of one maternal allele with one paternal allele for each gene being studied in the cross |
I thought we had one somewhere on here, so you may want to do a search and check out Ron's Blog. Just in case we don't, here's an example. http://www.athro.com/evo/gen/punnett.html
How you can tell? Do an internet search and compare Supers with Pastels..Supers are pastels there's no mistaking them. (Ron may see this thread later and be nice enough to post a picture of each  ).
*Ron, can you put a drawing tool on here?

It's the function on Microsoft word that allows you to draw lines, graphs, circles etc.

Just remember, it's not a matter of percentages in the sense of what you will get, it's probabilities of what you might get.
You can have 10 eggs and each egg has a 25% probability of holding an albino, and still come out with 10 non-albinos.

Yep. That's why I've learned to be very kind and humble because mother nature can really stick it to you. Had a 13 egg clutch of Spider x Normal once and got 12 normals and one spider. I've since learned to be VERY HUMBLE, especially when you have eggs incubating. Hopefully she'll be very kind to us this season.

Search the site (see above) on the keyword "punnett", lots of wonderful archived discussions.

If you breed 2 100% het albinos can you tell the difference between the normals and hets?

For hets, Ron usually provides documentation. Normals are sold as normals.
