I'm currently using the Fanatec GT3RS Clubsport, which replaced my G27. Both offer good force feedback, but the effects are slightly dampened in the Fanatec due to the much more realistic and heavier steering wheel. I don't use the sifters from either setup because neither of them feel anything remotely close to a real shifter. The paddle shifters on the G27 has better feedback, but the Fanatec's clubsport pedals are in a completely different league. I find it was easier to achieve faster lap times with the G27 because of the smaller and lighter wheel.
Fanatec also offers a lot more tuning options within the wheel itself, which is neat, and the wheel uses more advanced electronics, but I suspect that's also why I get some electrical noises when the force feedback is pushing against my hands.
My main gripe with the G27 was the poor design of the helical drivetrain. The wheel is very smooth and virtually silent, but Logitech obviously didn't do any R&D on the product as the bushings were not beefed up to handle the added thrust forces from the helical gears. This resulted in clunks in the drivetrain in one direction. The G25 is louder overall but at least it doesn't clunk.
