Isn't Lighter Bake a replacement for shortening/butter? I don't see why
it would be used for eggs, or why ener-g would be used for butter, so I'm
not sure why the two products would be compared.
I've had good experience with ener-g, using it in muffins and quick
breads. I've never used it in yeast breads, since eggs are generally
optional there though they do give the bread a different texture.
