CC-BY-SA has less cruft; GFDL has cover texts and the fact that you have to include the entire text of the license when distributing any part of the work, no matter how small. CC-BY-SA is more general; GFDL is intended for software documentation. CC-BY-SA has been adapted for multiple jurisdictions; GFDL was only developed in the context of US jurisdiction.
