Euclid will create geometry for energyplus as .Idf file while OS sketchup plugin will create geometry for OS application in . osm format. You can translate the resulting. osm file infto. Idf file in the OS application. The obvious advantage of OS is the ability to use the extra features of the sketchup plugin as you already found and the visual features of tge OS like plant loops and air loops visual editing. The limits that OS impose are mianly around features existing in Energy Plus which are not realized in OS. One other thing is the steep learning curve of OS with somewhat lacking documentation compared to Energy Plus
