I've used both and they are excellent in very different ways. Of course, they have the same professional finish - vibrant, great opacity, beautiful layering etc
Prismacolours are very buttery smooth - they are great for laying down large swaths of colour but can be difficult to do detailed work with. You'll need to constantly sharpen them to keep the point sharp.
Faber castell polychromos are more waxy. They keep a point beautifully and I use them for almost all my detailed work nowadays.
