There is much to compare (and contrast) here, of course, with Lorien. Thoughts? The use of blindfolds comes to mind first. Being the guide as the Fellowship entered Lorien, Haldir applied this restriction to Gimli, only, but the others did so "willingly". No blindfolds were used when the Company left Lorien. In contrast, blindfolds were used both entering and exiting Henneth Annon--required going in and "optional" for Frodo and Sam upon leaving-- but for Gollum this was a must.
When the Company was being lead in by Haldir, they experienced a sort of running commentary; however, the trip away from the Forbidden Pool seemed to silent until Farmir "ordered then to be uncovered".
Also, Faramir's counsel, with regards to directions, is straightforward. In contrast, Celeborn initially is somewhat vague about giving counsel/directions. He does provide a fairly good general description of what's down the River later. Faramir-the Captain-direct and to the point. Celeborn--the Wisest Elf--making suggestions. One seems to have a more subjective interest in (preventing) the great approaching danger and the other appears to be more objective about the matter.
Trees and water are a part of both lands and are well described. Of course gifts are given by the "hosts" to the "guests" at each parting.
"The land dreams in a false peace..." and "...on the land of Lorien there was no stain" are interesting comments about the lands through which Frodo has traveled.

I think "staves" means more than one "staff".

I wondered about the alternative meanings for staves as well...
