Well, if Weasel Hoarders only release upon contact with a plant, whereas Chicken Wranglers release upon a certain amount of damage OR contact, then they're weaker. It's possible that they're weaker because the player may not have Lightning Reed when they first face the Hoarders. It's also possible that the Hoarders release more Weasels than Wranglers because they're less likely to release them.
