EcalConverterDriver is a really simplified version of ECalRawConverterDriver: no pedestal subtraction, constant gain (default to 1) for all channels, and some other differences. It doesn't use the conditions at all. It is only used where we need a simple conversion from RawCalorimeterHits to CalorimeterHits - some places in the readout simulation, and in the test run monitoring. It is not specifically meant for either MC or real data. Simple answer: use ECalRawConverterDriver unless you have a good reason not to.
