Price is identical, so decide on what you want the sweater to do. Take the AllSaints if you want the standout neckline, a softer hand, and a slim look for dark-palette outfits. Take the Taylor Stitch if you want a heavier crew that lasts, fits true to size, and earns its keep through longevity. The merino is finer and pills more readily; the lambswool is the workhorse.
