LEED simulation in energy plus

Dear Modelers,

I am going to do calculation for LEED (EA P2 and EA C1) using EnergyPlus. I
am new in this software, but I get license for DesignBuilder.

Could you write me what is difference (difficulty level, future
possibilities) between building modeling in OpenStudio and DesignBuilder?
I mean: is it easier to draw in OpenStudio, but e.g. HVAC development is
nicer in DesignBuilder...?

Could I model building in OpenStudio (envelope), but later work on it in
DesignBuilder (and vice versa)?

Thanks in advance for your hints and tips!!!
Regards,
Karol Bandurski
