What's the difference between this and the 2000's version? Which one should I watch?

I think they are both completely different stories. You can watch both. I haven’t seen the other one but the 2019 version is pretty good. Tbh don’t know why the score is so low.

Boogiepop Phantom 2000 is inspired by the light novels.
Boogiepop and others 2019 are an adaptation of the light novels.
they share characters and some parts of the story, but the rest is different.

2019 adapts the first few light novels, 2000 is an original story set after the first novel (first three episodes of 2019). They're different but both are good imo. You should watch at least the first three episodes of 2019 before 2000 because the context is very much needed. I watched 2019 completely before I watched 2000.

The story is complicated and doesn’t make much sense and most of the characters are assholes. The animation and the music are incredible, the only reason why i gave it at least a 5/10.

Complex plots aren’t bad though? Even if a person watches the anime and doesn’t understand that doesn’t mean it’s written poorly. From what I remember it was fairly understandable with many philosophical debates such as free will. Shows like this, Steins;Gate, NGE, Psycho Pass, and Garden of Sinners all have a complex story but all are good.

Well from what I understood watching both, the 2019 one is a prequel to the 2000, as the the story of the 2000 is about events that happened after the Manticore arc.

The 2000 one is a fucking masterpiece. The 2018 one fails to capture the essence of the novels or so I've heard. Watch the 2000 one first.
