GitLab undoubtedly has the best CICD service. GitHub Actions feel poorly designed and half-baked in comparison to the point they barely feel prod-ready. It's interesting to read into the thought process of anyone picking GitHub vs GitLab, because, other than being the default with tolerable shortcomings beyond copilot, there is no compelling reason to pick GitHub. If anything, GitLab's Achilles heel is it's massive Product Management problem. I recall that access to some features like Group Access Tokens were unexplainably removed from free access without updating documentation or even it's UI. Apparently some GitLab PM made a call to pull them out without bothering to check for the customer impact loose ends, and all loose ends were simply left in place for customers to repeatedly pester support without any action.
