Both are focused on barbell compound lifts. There are many many strong opinions on what type of weight is best in what schedule, with many persuasive arguments backing them up. This is because you will get stronger and gain muscle mass if you eat at a surplus and do basically anything involving picking up a weight.
Meat doesn't actually care about the routine! Your triceps can't tell if you did six reps or seven. Just doing some kind of heavy lift is enough.

Kind of... the most important thing for any beginner is to just start doing something; but, there are a lot of nuance on maximizing muscle growth that do mean different reps / weight ranges do make a difference. A couple of reps difference either side are going to make little difference but when you have drastically different ranges like 5 to 20 or something then you start training your body for different things. Stick to low reps and high weight and keep progressively overloading and you will be good to go! As you said - for beginners something like SS or SL are great for starting with core lifts and give you a solid program to kick off from.
