These two are nowhere near the same. Assange leaked information that actually put people's lives in danger. He directly named operatives undercover in places with governments that wouldn't think twice about chopping their heads off. This gives Snowden a bad name, and in my opinion devalues what he has done.

Second, as far as I know, no one can point to a single person who was harmed or was even put in danger. And there were risk/damage assessments performed by the government so you would expect the fact that someone, without being specific, had been put in danger to be made public.
