i think that BG2 is alot better, but if u r short on HD space, get IWD. BG2 minmimum install = 500mg, Recomended= Approx. 1gig, Full= Approx. 2 gig. It is 4 cds, Iwd is only 2... but bg2 is more fun in the early bits (ive played bg2 up to chapter 3, iwd up to about the second task thingi), And i found BG2 alot better, there are more character types to choose from, You start at about lvl. 6 (depending on ur character- u start at the bg1 level cap) and you have a 3/4 top down view.
IWD u start with 0 xp, There r only the basic character types to chose from, You start at lvl.1 with 0xp, a goblin fight can kill u easily, and the view is terible.
And no, i dont think they both use 2nd edition adnd rules- In IWD, Raise dead cannot be used on elves, reserrection can, in bg2 both can be used on any race.

But if you do get both- play IWD first, otherwise ul find it very boring
