Two very different types of pieces (other than their roles occasionally overlapping as 3-point threats).
Love's edge mostly comes from his rebounding. He's not just getting default rebounds, but he actually understands and capitalizes on consistently good rebounding positioning. He plays the angles and then he's solid enough to control the rebound when it bounces where it's supposed to.
As 'pure' basketball players it's fairly one-sided in Love's favor. In terms of 'fit' it's debatable that Klay is a better fit for GSW.
Klay really fits in well with that Golden State offense. Draymond/Klay do a fine job of fitting their specific team roles as well or better than Love/JRSmith.

Love is most definitely NOT better than Klay. Not even close, IMO. Klay could score 25/game on quite a few teams. But playing with two Hall of Famers cuts into his opportunities. Klay is better than Love at everything except rebounding.
