They've got some pretty neat little features that are lacking on the Figuarts, but they're not quite as sharp, considering you put it together yourself. TJ Omega has pretty detailed reviews of both the Figurerise and Figuarts iterations of Kamen Rider W's base form, if you'd like to check those out.

As for my personal recommendation, I'd say that the Figuarts are your best option. They're the most value for your money, and if you do intend to start getting more Kamen Rider figures, it'll adhere to a single standard. Even if you just want a few, they're the best that Kamen Rider toys have to offer, besides the expensive 12 inch figures.

As for actually getting your hands on them, Mandarake is a fantastic resource. They mostly sell toys that have "damaged boxes" or that have been opened, usually amounting to corner scuffs or cut tape. I know that SH Figuarts Decade Violent Emotion is getting a reissue in August, Faiz is fairly inexpensive in places like Amazon and HLJ and I've seen Figuarts Skull on Mandarake for 3,000-3,500 yen recently. As for W and Accel... good luck.
