The 2nd has a lot more to master in it. I suggest just starting with the first and then if you like that enough pick up the 2nd.

As the user above said, I would get the original Company of Heroes first. The factions are easier for beginnings and they serve as a good basis on learning how the game, and excell at it.
If you enjoy Company of Heroes, you should then pick up Opposing Fronts. The factions a little more complex to get to grips with, but they're both extremely fun to play. Speaking of which, all of the factions are extremely fun to play (and man, do I love the King Tiger. :P)

About the multiplayer, no matter which one of these two games you get, you will be playing the same people. It's just that, you will only be able to play as the game's respective factions. (British and Panzer Elite for Opposing Fronts | American and Wehrmacht for Vanilla Company of Heroes)

For content;

Company of Heroes: Play American Campaign | Play as American and Wehrmact Factions in Skirmish and Online | Play against any player, regardless of their faction.

Opposing Fronts: Play British and Panzer Elite Campaigns | Play as British and Panzer Elite in Skirmish and Online | Play against any player, regardless of their faction.

Both: Play all 3 campaigns | Play as all 4 factions online | Play against any player.
