Timber, Here's what I can understand on the differences.
BGT-Huge, hard to find download, takes forever to download due to too many downloads or cruddy servers, or both. And you need BG1, ToTSC, SoA, and ToB, I think with the latest patches and no mods prior to BGT. Good news you can play straight through the whole thing with only minor complications which may be fixed in future patches or versions. Not sure though. I don't know about loading currently running games though.

BG1tutu-smaller download and there is a link to it's site in one of the topics on this site. Still a little buggy, but it's a work in progress. ToB is not required. I don't know about ToTSC, maybe only if you plan on taking part in those quests. Bad news you have to use an extra executable file to change SoA back to SoA instead of the BG1 files. So you'll have to play through one at a time. You won't be able to play BG1 and SoA at the same time, unless you like converting back and forth a lot.

There may be more to it, but that's what I've been able to gather.
