good or bad?

The +% pieces add to your base score, which is determined by your attributes and SAs. For example, let's say you have a PD score of 40 from your attributes, then SB and SDC add another 10, giving you a 50 base PD score. If you have +20% to PD chance, that would make your score 60. This is huge for players with already high scores because it can raise your score to abusive levels. However, it also means that those with low scores (i.e. new/younger players) will see little to no benefit to having a +% chance piece. Raising a base 10 PD score to 11 through a +10% to PD chance piece doesn't do much at all, whereas getting +2 to SDC or SV will cause your CB to have improved play. It's also one of the reasons why most people are against +intercept/catch % pieces. Those scores are already so low for CBs that the added % chance likely does very little.

Interception score or PD score?

either..and which has more of an effect? I would think that PD% would be more useful..
Well no one knows for certain except for Bort, but here is what I think is involved:
Note: this is just the scores themselves, not how to get in position to make a better roll, so jumping isn't on the list
Both:
Agility
Vision
Confidence
Strength
SV
RNG
Positional Modifier
PD:
SB
SDC
Various VAs
INT:
SH
Catching
Various VAs
Most likely the common modifiers are weighted differently in each. I'd say strength has more of a roll to play in the PD score and vision and SV have more of a roll to play in the INT score. But this is of course just theory.
As for which is more useful, PD by a mile. Like I said in my previous post, since int scores are really low regardless of build, a % increase in that low score won't do much. But PD scores can get high, so a % piece will help out a lot. A CB with 95 agility, 75 vision, 50 strength, 61 jumping,, 48 confidence, 10 SB, and 10 SDC is going to have a pretty high PD score, so +25% to PD chance will be huge.
