They are like a huge (up to 5 lbs) Neandrethal ancestor of the modern grapefruit, but they don't really have the kick of white grapefruit. Definitely not the same. The peel is thick and unfriendly and the taste, as far as I recall, is more bland, though I always get the kick out of separating the membranes(?). I'd use red grapefruit and wouldn't opt for pomelos but then, I don't have to choose, as white grapefruit are found in every market here, pretty much year-round.
