Again and again and again...  This question seems to be the "are we 
there yet" of the security industry these days.  No matter how 
many times it has been answered, it will be inevitably asked again.

So let me have at it, in a nutshell...

They both have their merits, but they both also have their defects.
CISSP (which I hold) is more of a policy, managerial type cert.
SANS is more of a technical cert, but has less (but growing fast) 
awareness among the HR community.  

Make up your own mind, or google for one of the lengthy threads 
in many places to have your mind made up for you.
