Personally, I think these two firearms are roughly equal in quality and reliability. The CZ has a frame-mounted safety while the Beretta has a slide-mounted safety, so your personal druthers may enter into that part of the decision depending upon what you prefer.
What made the difference for me is that I believe that the .40 caliber cartridge unnecessarily batters guns originally designed for the 9mm AND 9mm ammo is cheap and good personal defense 9mm ammo is available virtually everywhere.
Based on the guns you identified, I'd go with the Beretta.
