Wow, to me these are very different, so I'm hesitant to even recommend one over the other. To me it's like saying that apples are better than oranges.
I do like the grassy, fresh quality of Lui, and also like the warmer, more sensuous character of Gucci. You could say that the former would be more summer and the latter would be more winter. That's the way I see it, anyway.
Clearly there are those who would disagree. Some people give the requisite typical "ew, old man" comments about Lui, so if that's important to you, that may help.

Answer:
I think I just commented on this like 2 days ago...
Anyway, the sharp woody notes are common in both but I prefer the Gucci because A) It lasts longer and B) The citrus in the Lui is confusing to my nose (however, it does make it more versatile than the 'only for winter' Gucci)
Can't go wrong with either so take your pick.
