I ran both implementations for quite a while. both are good, but have different goals. lnd prefers stable fast and cheap payments, while cln puts much more focus on privacy, even if it means you might pay a few sats more.
lnd needs way more resources, but if you only manage a few channels, who cares. 200 channels on a routing node, certainly cln is better/cheaper. I also think bolt11, liquidity ads are superior concepts, but it seems everyone is happy with centralized liquidity markets (magma, ln+pool, ...) so idk.
user tooling is better on lnd, but cln allows deeper access for plugins. cln had better backup and redundancy options compared to minimal sbc of lnd, which requires cooperation (and thus availability) of your peers.
