Which chess engine would you say is better with understanding positional play as well as opening theory etc?

Both are good. 
Though they don't understand the positional play 
, they simply calculate tactical variations.

Engines are decent in the opening, but are stronger with opening books. Fishbook Dynamic and Stockfish 9 should be sufficient. Komodo is programmed to maneuver more and thus plays a more positional game than Stockfish.
