We don't know a lot about logfs, so you will really have to make
your own comparison. However our general impressions are as follows:

1. In our testing logfs file operations seem to be much slower,
see http://osl.sed.hu/wiki/ubifs/index.php/IOzone

2. logfs code base is much smaller i.e. UBIFS has 3-4 times as many
lines of code.

3. logfs does not seem to have bad-block handling.

4. logfs does not seem to have wear-leveling.

5. We are not certain how scalable logfs is.

We could be wrong about those things - don't flame us if we are.
Ask us about UBIFS, not logfs.
