Choose the G425 if a used set with the clubs you need costs less and you want the higher flight of its weaker lofts.
Choose the G430 if you may want PING to add or replace a club later, or you want the thinner face.
The G430 replaced the G425, and both score 3.5 of 5: the same game improvement head class and the same 4.6 mm of offset at the 7-iron. PING made the G430's lofts stronger (a 29° 7-iron against 30°, a 41° pitching wedge against 44.5°), gave it a thinner face and about a degree more bounce. A stronger loft flies lower club for club; it is not more help on a mishit. PING still builds G430 clubs to fill in or replace one in a set; it no longer does that for the G425, which is now bought used.
PING's game improvement iron before the G440, with the same 4.6 mm of offset and the same 29° 7-iron; PING added a 41° pitching wedge to fill the gap its stronger lofts left.

PING's game improvement iron before the G440, with the same 4.6 mm of offset and the same 29° 7-iron; PING added a 41° pitching wedge to fill the gap its stronger lofts left.
The G440 replaced the G430, and the two share the figures our score reads: the same 4.6 mm of offset at the 7-iron, the same 29° 7-iron and the same lofts from the 4-iron to the 9-iron, so both score 3.5 of 5.
Two generations apart, the G425 and the G440 share the figures our score reads: a game improvement head with 4.6 mm of offset at the 7-iron, so both score 3.5 of 5.
Two earlier PING irons a step apart: the G430 is PING's game improvement head, the G730 its super game improvement head, and the G730 forgives more, 5 of 5 here against 3.5.
PING's tables give the G410 and the G425 the same lofts, lies, lengths, offsets and bounces, club for club, from a 20.5° 4-iron to the 58° LW, with a 30° 7-iron and 4.6 mm of offset.
Both are game improvement irons of the same era, the G425 a year older than the Stealth, and the G425 is a little more forgiving by our score, 3.5 of 5 against 3.
