I like both brands and have revolvers from both manufacturers.
The S&W revolvers look better. I won't buy another S&W revolver with THE LOCK. Triggers can be worked on, but should be done by someone who knows what they're doing.
The GP100 lacks the stupid lock (maybe it has one somewhere) in an obvious location. If it does, then it doesn't activate when firing heavy loads. The GP100 trigger can be easily cleaned up by the owner with a trigger kit from triggershims.com and a 10 minute video. The quick change front sight is an obvious advantage that saves the owner gunsmithing fees.
Both may need additional work. Charge holes should be chamfered. Grips may need to be changed. The forcing cone may need to be recut and the cylinder holes (whatever they're called) cut for uniformity when shooting lead bullets.
If the only difference were appearance, I'd choose S&W.
