One is the author of a lengthy, in-depth fantasy series and the other writes slice-of-life singles. There's really too many differences between them to make this a fair question...
I prefer JKR myself though.

Also, I forgot to say two words that sum up why J.K Rowling is the best. Harry. Potter. How someone can compare any other author to the amazing woman who created a world I have dreamed of and wish was real! I have grown up with the Harry Potter books and can't imagine ever not enjoying them when I'm old and rereading them for probably the hundredth time

With you there - not only do I not want to choose, I want to save these for the kid who loved HP until she is older.
I read The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska and I laughed and cried and I am astonished at the quality of each book since most people have one super good novel and then the quality level drops as they try to write more.
I wouldn't want a 12 year old to read any of them and I wouldn't encourage a sensitive 8 year old to read HP either
I wouldn't want a 14 year old to read past TFIOS
I would hope somewhere between 16 and 18 they would read the rest because they are powerful well written YA books
