Answer:

Go with Phenom. Easy to overclock thanks to BE and performs better.
Phenom all day
The Phenom currently performs slightly better clock per clock. That phenom is also perfect for Overclocking. If you do not over clock then its not really an issue. The Bulldozer might be a better CPU when certain instructions are implemented by OS makers (Windows 8?). Basically, performance wise at stock speeds, they should be about equal. If you plan to OC, go with the Black edition, if not save some cash and go Bulldozer.
Phenom II BE hands down. Slight overclock (easy with BE) and the FX is out of the picture. For gaming and video editing I wouldn't bother going with the FX 4100. Get the 960T and overclock it.
