LRB is great, too. I prefer NYRB, though I can't pinpoint anything specific; it's just that in any given issue, LRB tends to have a higher ratio of articles that I find too dry and academic.
As you probably know, LRB was originally created by NYRB (it was initially published as a supplement), so they have a shared history and kinship. And of course, there are a ton of writers who are published in both, such as Tim Parks, Neal Ascherson, Tony Judt (RIP!) and Jonatham Lethem.
The only reason I don't read both faithfully is that there's just not enough time in the world.
