Also, I plan on starting up the puppy on either of these foods when he comes home. While Evo seems pretty high quality, I'm wondering if the food may be too rich for such a young puppy?

I agree with Debbie, I would not put a puppy on EVO or Wellness Core.
My understanding of EVO is it's a kibble made to be used by raw feeding owners when they can't feed raw. (Such as on a trip.) IMO, it's too high in protein for most dogs.
Yes, I think they would be too rich for a puppy.
Also, I do not leave it up to my puppies or my adult dogs to "decide" what they want to eat. I decide and they eat it.
My advice is for you to decide what food you are comfortable feeding. Then you feed that, your puppy will eat it. If he does well, grows, maintains weight, has a good coat and good health then stick with that. If not then find a new food.
Also, a reputable breeder should have suggestions as to what his/her dogs do well on and you might want to stick with what they feed.
