Both are high quality chemical paint cleaners, but there are differences. AIO has acrylic protectants and will add a bit of gloss. PP has no protectants or gloss enhancers. Because it leaves nothing behind, the surface is left cleaner and clearer. It must be followed by other products to provide protection and/or gloss. AIO can be used as a one-step product, or it can be used as a base for a carnauba wax or sealant. PwC is the Poorboy's product which contains a mild chemical cleaner with some protectants and gloss enhancers. PwC leaves the surface with a shinier appearance than AIO, but its trace amounts of carnauba may cause bonding/durability problems if used with certain sealants. Ask if you are unsure of product compatibility.

Regarding ease of use: PwC is easiest, followed by AIO. PP is the most difficult to learn to use correctly.
 
AIO got rid of mud stains and oxidation that the guy that used to detail my car couldnt get out.

er, now that i think about it, it may have been the SSR1?
 
I really like Adam's Revive for cleaning paint (not abrasive at all). Very easy to use and makes the metallic flakes in the paint shine. Right now it is serving as the basis for my EX-P/Natty's combo and it's a killer.
 
Chemical cleaners to try:
Meguiar's DC Step #1
Meguiar's Body Scrub
One Grand Special Touch
Winner's Choice Pre-Cleaner
Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion
4* Ultimate Paint Cleaner

Instead of a paint cleaner, could you use something like VM to strip old wax/sealant? I really like VM on dark paint.

VM has mild cleaning properties and can be used to remove old carnauba wax. Some sealants can be more resistant to removal (dependent on many factors including type of sealant and number of layers). BTW - I really like VM on dark colors too.
