Cane Corso is the better family dog due to being more easily trained. The Cane Corso is generally a confident dog, very devoted to its family, and does not pose any threat to strangers welcomed into the home. It's quite easily trained and naturally protective of children, making it a good choice for a guard dog.
Cano Corsos are very smart and active, so it'd be advisable for you to find activities to stimulate the dog. If not, it might turn to your possessions from boredom. They also often suffer from separation anxiety.
A dog that is aggressive may be unstable but more probably is under-socialised. As long as you socialise with the dog starting early, you should be fine..The Presa Canario, on the other hand, can be aggressive toward animals, other dogs, and humans (the last is rare, but still). Once the dog has been properly socialised and trained, this becomes the exception.
Because of this, the Presa Canario can be hard to train. It requires a firm owner who is willing to meet the challenges a young, dominant puppy may give. So to answer, i'd have to say the Cane Corso would be your best bet, because the Presa Canario has that aggressive streak and is hard to train.
If you plan to housebreak a dog, you need to be able to train it quickly, like you can with the Cane Corso.
Corso's are better at protection, easier to train I had a friend with a Corso, and they are wonderful dogs. The problem is, they do require a lot of socialization and need to be kept fairly active. They especially need a lot of socialization when they are young.
Having family that is around nearly all the time is helpful- if your children are older and both you and your spouse work that could be a problem, especially while the dog is young. From what I understand the Presa earns it's reputation as a fighting dog. They are harder to train and can be pretty aggressive.
They need socialization like Corso's but seem more in need of very structured training from a very young age. I knew a family with children years ago that had a Presa, and it was a very good dog and didn't really fit the stereotype of being aggressive - but I believe they spent a lot of time and money training her. Both dogs are huge, Presas are a a little bit shorter so if you are looking for intimidation the Corso may be better, but frankly either dog would probably scare the snot out of an intruder and the Presa might be more aggressive about it.
I checked and both dogs have wikipedia entries that are fairly decent. From the reputation of the dogs and from the people I've known I would go with the Corso. Both dogs will require a lot of training early on, but Corsos seem better with kids.

English Springer spaniel is the best family dog. They are sweet, empathetic, and playful. They are terrible guard dogs (although they’re protective of kids) but you’ll never worry about someone getting bitten.
Other springer’s may be ok but ours was an English springer. Get one from a good breeder because the pet store dogs are sometimes hyper-active.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
