I use both regularly (running at the same time, so I can compare routing options). I understand that Google Maps uses traffic sensors to alert for heavy traffic conditions and Waze uses crowd-sourced traffic conditions to alert. In my opinion, the Waze routing is more reliably the "faster" way to get to my destination, but it sometimes takes you through neighborhoods and on back roads, etc. that I wouldn't normally drive on and that Google Maps would not include in its routing.
On the other hand, Google Maps has lane indicators, which can be really helpful in heavy traffic. My ideal setup would be to have Waze projected to my 8" screen and run Google Maps on my other phone, mounted in the car for easy visual reference.
My two cents...
