Whats better for an 18 year old that wants to lose about 20 pounds of fat and put on some good major weight? HST, or the other?

I will be attending 3 times a week. Also, does anyone know where I can get good programs at?

You are comparing apples and oranges. HIIT is a form of cardio, HST is a total body workout where you hit the body 3 times per week(but less sets).

Now, if you mean to choose between the two of them, HST would be the best bet by far. You need to work your lean muscle. You can diet while doing this. HIIT will not do much for any muscle tone.
