Two points:
1. Neither of these is a GNT (if that is what you were referencing)
2. Neither of these is a lexicon (if that is what you were referencing)
I would recommend Metzger for an understanding of the process by which
the text of the NA-27 was determined; and many have found Zerwick
valuable though I have never used it.
If you were looking for a lexicon (in keeping with Carl's response), I
cannot state it strongly enough GET BDAG !
