Yes, they're good discs, but both of them are probably "too much disc" for you.

Once you're able to throw 300' or more consistently, you'll find that the Predator is extremely overstable; it will fight a headwind and will ALWAYS finish left. The X Avenger is a slightly straighter flyer, but still pretty overstable.

I was watching some UTub videos on driving and watched 7 pros drive. All of their shots hung to the left and came back. Non of them hung to the right ande came back. How do you make those drives?
Not sure what you mean by "hung to the left." And were these forehand or backhand throws?

And I was wondering is someone could explain what an anhyzer and a hyzer is and the difference. I am having a hard time conseptualizing them.
It's very simple: throwing with hyzer angle means that the outside edge of the disc is pointing toward the ground when you release it. Anhyzer means the outside edge is pointing up. Beginners will tend to favor an anyhzer angle because it counteracts the disc's natural tendency to fall off in the direction opposite its spin (i.e., to the left on a right-handed backhand throw) once it loses speed.
