Owned both a 686 and a GP100 many moons ago. Personally I preferred the L-frame because it fit my hand better and I think it's much better looking. The GP100 was blockier in appearance, and the trigger reach was a bit too long for me. To be honest, the 686 was a bit long for me too, but not as long as the GP100.
Never had any trigger work done on either spoon; the Smith was pretty smooth w/crisp release right out of the box -- continued to get better over time. The Ruger was rougher and had more creep; got much smoother after 4-5 boxes.
Both shot well for me, though the 686 shot better (probably due to slightly shorter reach and slightly better trigger).
YMMV.
