It all depends on your game. Too many golfers play a ball that is way out of their league because some magazine gives it a High rating or their favorite player is playing it. Most of the high end balls are geared towards low handicap players. Callaway makes a great ball, however the two you are comparing are two different levels. The ProV1 is a performace ball that is designed for the better player while the HX Hot is a pure distance ball that will not be receptive on greens and putting. Figure out your game, if you lose more than 10 balls a round, stick to something cheap until you get better. Not worth shelling out 45 bucks for a dozen ProVs if you lose them all by the turn.
To compare the two brands, go with Callaway's HX Tour and Tour 56, those are more comparable to the ProV, and personally I think better, not to mention easier to find cause everyone plays Titleist.
Try also Bridgestone B330, that is a great ball with not too much hype around it.

136 Professional golfers use Titleist balls (most use the Pro V1) the next closest company has 14 professonal users. I would probably trust the pros and go with the Pro V1.
PS: The Titleist DT So/Lo is a great alternative for 1/2 the price.

I depends on what kind of golfer you are. The Pro V is a performance ball and the Callaway is an distance ball. Everybody seems to like the Pro V but if your swing speed isn't faster that 110-120 mph you will not get the performance out of the ball that it requires, therefore the Callaway would be a better ball for you.

If you shoot a good round using a piece of concrete you will swear that Ready Mix is the best!

Neither, the best ball is the one that works best for you. The USGA puts limits on the distance a ball can travel and so a distance ball for $8/dozen can go as far as the Pro V1 which cost about $45/dozen. So find one that feels good to hit and putt.
As an aside I seem to find a lot of Pro V1's in the woods does that tell you anything?

My personal experience, I like the Pro V1 better. With pros and stuff, as in the commercials, Titleist the #1 ball in golf. For the one commercial when they say what # they play zach johnson goes "any number as long as its a titleist."

Right now the ProV1 is one of the best of breed in golf, but the HX hot is good alterative. If you have the money to drop on the ProVs but I know I will be using the HXs myself.
