I want to have an opinion on this secret, but I haven't actually seen either version, only a bunch of clips, and youtuber opinions about each of them.

I feel like I might agree with you if I'd seen them, though. Joss's style wore thin for me at least a decade ago, but it does still have its charms, and I do sincerely believe he had a lot of talent as a writer/show-runner. Snyder...I wouldn't personally argue that he's a talentless hack or anything, but I tend to come away from his projects feeling a subtle, underlying sense of discontentment...almost a kind of 'ick' feeling that is hard to attribute to any one particular thing.

Snyder at his best (which LJ clearly wasn't), I come away thinking "Why didn't I enjoy that more?"

Whedon at his worst (which is seems like JL might've been), I come away thinking, "It's a shame Joss never grew past the style of writing he excelled at twenty-plus years ago, because there's potential there; it's just hard to appreciate it when quite a few of his choices are obnoxiously stale and feel sort of narratively shallow by 2020 metrics."
