They're both incredible passers, elite vision and delivery. Who's the better passer is subjective here, if I had to pick, it'd be Trae (very close).
Defensively it's really not a contest.
Ben is a better man defender, team defender, offers more rim protection, more versatile.

Him being a good offensive player and an elite defensive player is extremely valuable. Trae could possibly take over due to his offensive impact being ridiculously good but for now Ben is the better player imo.
