I’ve got another cat food question?

So, I’ve been doing some research in the cat food area and I’d like to know whether the Wellness Complete Health Chicken or the Merrick Before Grain Chicken is a better dry food?

Here’s their information:

Wellness:

Both foods contain:
Crude Protein (Not Less Than) 36.0%
Crude Fat (Not Less Than) 18.0%
Crude Fiber (Not More Than) 3.0%
Moisture (Not More Than) 11.0%

So, is the Before Grain a better food because it’s not made with grains? I’d like to know what your opinion is and if you could, explain why.

Now, I feed my cats dry in the morning and wet in the evening. Please, again, don’t lecture me on why wet is better.

Is Pinnacle a good cat food?

I was looking into Innova and Origin but locally here in town is that breeders choice Pinnacle.
Is this a good choice or should I drive the extra 60 minutes (gas) to buy Innova?
The kitten is going to be 4 weeks when I get it. I know that is young, but I plan on bottle feeding it and giving it natural canned cat food as a suplement until it is 8 weeks, then switch to this Pinnacle food. Can I still give 1/4 can with the Pinnacl? Pinnacle has alot of protein and I am worried that might be too much with can.
Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
