My experience in attending both several times is that SHARE offers better content, and a wider variety of content from a wider variety of resources. I have also spoken at both, and I can say that IBM appears to try and restrict the content of zExpo, as well as the scheduling of sessions. The decisions as to content at SHARE are made by people who work for a wide variety of companies, both end user and vendor.
If you had to make a choice, I'd recommend SHARE. Regards, Steve Stephen R. Guendert, Ph. D.
