One letter I am working on has it translated "Elije entre cientos de selecciones", but I also saw it "Escoge de centenares de selecciones". Can anyone tell me which is correct and why?

Elije/ Escoge entre cientos de selecciones
No real problem with the verb, either will do. But I have a stronger feeling about "cientos".
Opinions please...
Good luck magnolia.

They are both correct
It is just a matter of who your audience is and what you like better, Escoge is more similar to Choose
Elije is more similar to pick
hundreds sounds better to me a cientos, but centenares is just as good.

Elije
Dado el mal uso que se le da a escoger en México en ocasiones, yo siempre prefiero escribir elegir.

escoger entre/escoger de entre/elegir entre
La explicación es sencilla, es la construcción de estos verbos en español (puedes consultar algún diccionario para comprobarlo).
La segunda opción parece querer ser un "escoger de entre" pero sin el "de" (y eso, al menos en España, no es gramatical).
Otra cosa es el uso que se pueda llegar a hacer en otros países de habla hispana, que no lo sé.

Escoge/Elije entre cientos de selecciones
In my opinion as a native spanish speaker, the problem is not between \"escoge\" or \"elije\" which are both correct but rather with the preposition you are using.
Elije de cientos de selecciones sounds a bit strange because of the \"de\". You can say: Elije, de todas estas opciones, la que más te guste, for example.
But without any further words: elije de todas estas selecciones, sounds strange.
I think is better to say ( when selecciones) is not followed by other explanations: entre.

Una observación
Estoy de acuerdo con la construcción: \"escoger o elegir entre\". Lo que quería comentar es que el imperativo de tú es \"elige\" con \"g\", y no con \"j\", pues varios de los colegas lo han escrito mal.
