In some things, DAZ|Studio is better than Poser - it's lighting and camera controls are way better, the interface is more friendly. It's memory management is better. It's far superior in value for money, cos it's free! In other things, it demonstrates its youth: it can't handle Poser magnets, dynamic clothing or strand-based hair. It's shader is a nightmare and creating realistic skin can be difficult to achieve. You can do more with Poser, though it still has huge memory management problems. Daz|Studio has shown a promising start, it will be interesting to see how well it addresses the above.
