532nm and 520nm are very close in visibility, I myself prefer 520nm just because it's not DPSS. You can only tell the difference in color if you compared them side by side.

I am looking for a low wattage visible beam under 5 milliwatt no goggles needed and I noticed these :

Sapphire Galaxy - Extreme Duty Blue Laser

and they also have a 532nm green AND a

515nm green .

They are using transistor technology rather than the other technique .

Why is this better than DPSS ?

They say the Blue has visible night beam and 2 mile visibilty and both greens are 5 mile visibilty.

What do you think ? Hi priced but better than Laserglow Galileo ...?

They have a few with less beefy hosts but the same Tech.

Anything else I should look at ?

If you are talking about getting 5mw I would defenitly get the 532nm... It is way brighter then the blue.. As far as visibiliy goes a 5mw green would be as bright as a 50mw blue.

All 532nm are DPSS, DPSS have unstable output and are temperature sensitive and break too easy so don't drop one, however if you want something visible that is that low power then the 532nm is what you want, or the 515nm. Z-Bolt is a reputable company to buy from and you don't have to wait for it to ship from China. The blue one won't be as bright as it says at that power.
