The EAD plates that I have seen were all devoid of minima, yes. There is a way of calculating it, but I don't know what it is.
For me, the choice of approach plate style comes down to the future. I fly into Europe so I want uniform coverage in the same style.
Jepp and Aerad both give you that, but Aerad is a dead end product because they do only approach plates and enroute charts, no georeferenced (suitable for a GPS moving map) electronic data. Their enroute charts are also cluttered (even more cluttered than Jepp) because they combine low and high airways in one.
So I use Jepp, for the same reason that most of the world uses Jepp.
The price is ridiculous, but it can be reduced if a group of people flying the same aircraft buy the package, etc
I still have a sub to the paper version (UK only) but will stop this at the next renewal because it's easy enough to carry a laptop and a miniature printer and print off the plates actually required.
