Lulu.com v.s createspace

I was about to bring a really polished perfect version of Palms Inn into the published by you package at Lulu.com so it could go to Barnes and Nobles. But before doing so I decided to look at what options I have and investigated createspace bit. I found that they have lower production cost and every book you publish can go on Amazon free of charge. But is the ISBN createspace gives you, is that yours? Is it free? Can you use it to submit to other book stores with that ISBN? Does createspace have a simialr package that may go to Barnes and Nobles? I recently read a blog about someone saying it was a good idea to use both. But will the rules of create space and Lulu.com allow that sort of ISBN use? I'm just curious if anybody really kind of know the right route here?

Dear Sam,
As a former U.S. Capitol attendant, I offer you Senate Parking. A 90 K word novel about a multicultural crew of parking lot attendants who operate an escort service from the Senate lots. A good look at the underbelly of our law making process. Senate Parking can be listened to at www.NewFiction.com
“Hill Intros” is the brainstorm of attendants unable to obtain employment within the confines of the Capitol. Senate Parking is the story of power structures, on a personal and national level. Done from the perspective of workers who see themselves without much chance of ‘making it’ in a culture of power drivers, Washington’s backdrop provides a tension all its own.
This book concerns every kind of shady deal for which the political arena is famous. Senate Parking is full of anecdotes which let freedom ring. I can provide you with a synopsis or with the complete manuscript – whatever you like. Either way, I’ll be in touch.
Sincerely,

Skeeze Whitlow
