In short
QuickBMS: QuickBMS offers extraction, reimport, and format-inspection tools for users prepared to work with scripts. Check the listed executable targets and documentation level against your setup and experience.
UABEA: Windows and Linux builds, batch operations and an MIT license make it easy to fit into a personal workflow. The decision changes when the task depends on mesh pipelines, audio encoding, video assets or the newest Unity releases. Those areas have documented gaps and extra file handling. Treat UABEA as an editor for targeted changes, not a universal extractor or asset-conversion suite.
