Small clarification Andrea, You will find they are both working off the GeoAPI "Grid Coverage Exchange" model (ie Format and GridCoverageReader etc...). We have tried to update it to match the ISO Coverage model (when it became apparent that the OGC had dropped the Grid Coverage Exchange specification.
From the GeoTools library level both implementations are treated the same - as implementations of GridCoverageReader. When ever I see both competition and collaboration it makes me trust an API more; it means there are several stake holders attacking the model from different angles resulting in a better product. The uDig community may of given you the impression that imageio-ext work was more focused on performance (because that is what we are excited about over there). At a low level they are all doing the same scientific work and take this stuff very seriously.
