Differences between Sanwa and Hori sticks?

Whats the difference between the Sanwa JLF and the hori sticks?

I’ve used a Soul Calibur 2 stick in the past (the stick was ok but the buttons sucked).

I’m getting a stick from RockCho which has a Sanwa JLF in it. What’s so good about this stick compared to the hori?

The Hori has a shorter shaft for one, which can be problematic if you hold it from the side like me.
