I have both and hardly use Kontakt - which of these two you would prefer
depends on what you want to use a sampler for. 

Kontakt has some sound mangling features -- which EXS24 lacks -- and a lot of
pretty lame FX  (chorus, compressor etc). I would rather use other (decent)  FX
for these purposes. 

If you want to build mutli-sample instruments, Kontakt's instrument editor is a
nightmare. EXS24 has decent filters and is incredibly stable and efficient for
bread and butter sampling tasks. As of Logic Pro it will be built into Logic
(no longer an add-on)  so you can share instruments/collaborate with an even
larger body of Logic users.  Then there is this group which is itself a good
resource -- compare it to the Kontakt forum at NI and you will see what I mean.
