Sometimes I think Aki-P is recruiting girls that failed MM or HP auditions under his umbrella on purpose. Most of them who had tried out for HP auditions are actually doing pretty well in AKB or other sister groups.

Failure is good, makes you work harder.  And it's probably a 'u suck' to Tsunku.

Different producers look for different things. I don't think those girls would have blossomed under Tsunku and I don't think any of the H!P girls would fare differently in AKB.

Personally I think H!P is the better deal idol-wise even if they are smaller than AKB popularity wise. Even a lot of the smaller idol groups are better off than AKB newcomers imo.
