Hell route's music is fucking baller. The original Blade of Banishment is honestly one of my favorite PC98 songs

I dunno why ZUN messed with it in Akyu's #5, but I honestly think it sounds worse overall. The original had this upbeat but oddly dark and somber tone to it, but the new one lost that bit subtlety. The old one was this music I could picture myself playing Castlevania to, the new one just doesn't have that same "dungeon" quality to it. I don't know how to explain it
Also, as a general rule of thumb, I found that the Hell stages (and bosses) were harder than the Heaven stages, but Sariel was harder than Konngara
As for Heaven's music, I liked Magic Mirror, but there was a version of that in one of the Hell route bosses too as I recall. It's all worth it for Sariel, though
