YCombinator has been around longer, but these 2 are considered the best incubators. From what I heard, YCombinator really lets you do things on your own while providing you an awesome mentor network to help you with your startup. Also, YCombinator only seem to have only 2 big hits (Dropbox and AirBnB). Techstars focuses on the lean methodology with the first month doing customer development, the 2nd month doing product development, and the 3rd doing practicing pitching to investors.
Regardless of the stats of who has more companes, who's companies raised more, etc.
