Is it safe to say that the GOUT will look better, but the LD would sound better?
Depends. Here's one example:

Check out Shot 24 (Luke's blueish/white/green sabre training on the Falcon), every single LD capture has more detail in the floor grate, and shows the horizontal lines on Han's chair. Heck, even the '92 letterbox VHS beats it on that shot.
