Both are fine guns. Go with whatever feels most comfortable in your hand. Expect the S&W to be substantially more expensive than the Ruger.

The hardware is the same, but the software is vastly different.
Given the choice, i would definatly go with the S&W, had a 101, nice gun, but prefer my 686, barrels abit longer, but just like the smiths grip and feel better,
I have the GP100, SP101 and LCR and i have had no problems with any of them, the LCR is the most comfortable to carry and the GP100 is the most pleasant to shoot, but quite large to carry. The LCR is really abusive when shooting .357 rounds while the others are pleasant with most any ammo and the SP101 while heavier than the LCR is still great for CC. These revolvers are built really strong and dependable and are able to withstand heave use and heavy loads better than a Smith, but for most people with proper care either will provide years of dependable service. The one that fits your hand best and appeals to you the most is the one you should go for and you will be happy with it.
If you're looking for a compact, concealable revolver, Ruger SP101, 2.25 inch barrel, bobbed hammer, dump the factory grips and put on some Hogue grips. SUH-WEEEEET!!!!!!!
