I have had both. My vote would go to Good Sam. First, I believe you have many more campgrounds to choose from that give you the discount and those campgrounds have a wider variety of amenities allowing you to choose a lower-cost campground if you're not looking for a lot of bells and whistles. Second, Good Sam gives you discounts at more places, including Camping World.
KOA's, while generally very nice, tend to be on the more costly side. Not compared to the fancy resorts, of course, but on average, I believe more costly than "regular" campgrounds. When I had a KOA card, it was only good at KOA campgrounds, so pretty restricted in ability to use it.
My two cents. To some degree, the choice may be based on what a particular individual is looking for.
