Nope, both plugins are VERY BAD choice.
1) feedwordpress - strips the affiliate codes out of the URL's (not from every URL but sometimes). This already was discussed on GFY many times.
2) wp-o-matic - it works with the WP database directly bypassing the official WP API. So some day many webmasters notice that they WP db has been screwed and the blog is lost. This was also discussed on GFY.
I suggest you to use
CyberSyn - the another freeware feed pulling plugin which was written by a webmaster for webmasters.
Features:- CyberSyn doesn't use big and slow 3rd-party GPL libraries like SimplePie or MagpieRSS. It parses the RSS feeds for those XML tags only that can be imported into WordPress posts and ignores everything else. So it has rather compact and extremely fast code!
- Advanced RSS parsing algorithm has an ability to pull the feeds fully automatically. Furthermore, you can assign the updating period to each particular feed. Also you can set up a maximum number of posts that will be syndicated from the feed at once. This is a very useful feature for SE optimization of your blogs, because search engines don't like blogs that add 100 or more posts at once.
- Adjustable post uniqueness identification by GUID, post name or both.
- CyberSyn has no problem with syndicating various embedded media content such as tube videos etc.
