Pitting Sword Art Online and Log Horizon animes together would be a bad call. The Log Horizon's anime seems to be much more interesting than the mediocrely done SAO anime, so the anime studio would have to do much better if they don't want the possible 2nd season to be shadowed by Log Horizon.

I personally think that both stories are interesting in their own ways and, as their stories differ a lot (aside from the trapped in a game bit, but you can't actually die in Log Horizon and most of the important characters are nearly max leveled from the start), I wouldn't compare them that much story-wise. Production-wise, Log Horizon doesn't seem to have that many side stories, so the story is much more coherent and it does have more emphasis on game elements, so it does seem more appealing to the average viewer. That does not automatically mean that one is better than the other though.
