We've only rarely seen Hoskins, and IMHO he's looked pretty sharp on those occasions, whereas with CMS we've seen enough to know what he's good at and what his limitations are.
Does beg the question what the posters bigging-up CMS are basing their bigging-up ON exactly? His transfer fee? His being a genuinely nice bloke? Whatever it is, its certainly not based on anything he's shown on the pitch for quite a long time now. Even Scotland have quietly dropped him.
