Both will need paint correction if done properly, even with a brand new car.
I'd recommend Gtechniq, but I'd suggest you research both and then make your decision.

I've got OptiCoat on one car, CQuartz UK on another and Duragloss's Enviroshield on a third. If I were starting over today, I'd be taking a hard look at Optimum's new Gloss_Coat or the 22ple. In terms of great appearance, the CQuartz UK is by far the best of the products I've sampled.

I have the Gtechniq's crystal serum and love it. Glass like finish and my SQ5 actually stays looking cleaner longer (and I have the Phantom Black). The hardest part of washing it now is trying to keep it wet during the process.

Here's my MY14 Ice Silver SQ5 just after it was detailed and received the Opti-Coat Pro treatment from about 3 weeks ago - very happy with the results; the hydrophobic properties are amazing...almost seems to self clean with rain. Expecting these results to last for years.

Question, guys . . . Opti-Coat 2.0 and Opti-Coat Pro, are they the same thing? I plan to get my Q5 done with Opti-Coat when it is delivered next month. Been reading about Opti-Coat 2.0 being discontinued, and Opti-Gloss being the replacement, but I don't want a coating that only lasts a couple of years and then has to be redone.
