DBAN VS CD Recovery Discs?

[AllanDale]

What's the difference in wiping my system with DBAN and using my CD recovery discs purchased from HP?

If you're keeping the system and reinstalling, not a lot.
If you were selling, DBAN, just to be sure.

Thank you much!

DBAN- complete wipe of hard disk for recycle or resale.
HP recoveries - home/office use, for purposes of reinstalling.
