My group is finishing up Rise of the Runelords and I'm trying to decide what to run next. I have narrowed the choice down to either Curse of the Crimson Throne or Hell's Rebels.
So, I'm looking for opinions. I want something with a strong storyline, but not too railroady. And, if it matters, I am limiting this to races/classes/spells/feats/etc from the Core Rulebook only.
Thanks!

I would say that both path's are pretty Railroady but extremely strong on story.
If you are looking to only allow things from the core rulebook I would err towards Curse of the Crimson Throne. Hell's Rebels story can do a lot for a character's backstory and their journey if they embrace non core deities (like Milani) or choose to play a Tiefling.
Either path will work however. Heck, I would run both (and I am right now) but I would probably run Curse first.
