The ARod/Garlon DB helps fix some statistical errors that can pop up when using the original DB, like missing SB and CS data for the early years of baseball, so in that respect it is better. However, the that database changes around a players debut year to the year they had a significant amount of MLB AB's (the original DB will bring a player into the game in the first year they had at least one AB. Because of of that, the player may get imported with ratings that are actually to good for the player (if a player went 5-10 in RL, the game could import him as a career .500 hitter).

Finding players in either DB shouldnt be hard. Look in the "Master" table and it will tell each players debut year, or in the BAtting or Pitching table, you can see each players stats for each year they played. The game will ask for a playerID and a year you want to import.
