Probably this has been done here already, but would be interesting for folks to make two lists (subjective):

What PSA tends to go easy on (very forgiving) in grading--and where it is very tough

Same for SGC.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure PSA grades more cards which could explain more mistakes.

I agree with Zach and Jake. PSA offers a better case, easier to read grading, and tracking that can easily be accessed on their website.

Definitive makes me laugh on this subject. It is a religious debate with financial overtones.

The PSA case is slimer so more of them fit into my bin. SGC cases are too bulky looking.

Default Sgc/psa
I like SGC for accuracy, but because of collectors affinity for the PSA Registry, they bring higher prices IMO. Also, I love how my cards stand out in the SGC holder. Drives me nuts in some of the PSA holders when the cards move all around.

I agree. I'd almost rather discuss religion and/or politics before taking a side in this debate!

Current score sgc 53, psa 11....i just simply don't get it. If we all are collectors and at some point want to sell, why would you not go with the grading company that brings the most money?

For the most part...I don't buy/collect cards with the intent to sell!

My primary reason for collecting is the enjoyment I derive from the hobby and owning the cards themselves...not the satisfaction I may receive from getting top dollar for my cards if and when I decide to sell them.

I am more a man or morals...of ethics...and of esthetics...and SGC does a better job for what my needs and desires are.
