Is any of this projects released? As far as i know, only UFO2000 is playable.

I vote "other" couse i like both, depends how much time i have. TB is good couse you must think about few turns in advance and offers good tactics possibilities. It's terribly slow, though (remeber ship rescue missions in TFTD). RT, on other size, is good for fast missions. Problem is, you can win if you just place few soldiers and blow things up. So, combinations of those are good, like pauseble RT. But, there may be better way. Just nobody knows for now.

I think cruise ship is hardest to clear if you miss that one toilet with lobsterman. It's not so hard if you go room by room (cca 50 turns). Cargo ship is hard to clear, especialy if few grenades make damage to stairs and you don't know how to get to top of the ship.
