STAR --quantMode GeneCounts vs featureCounts

Has anyone compared output from STAR --quantMode GeneCounts and featureCounts? Are there any major differences in reporting? I have read that STAR's GeneCounts behaves like HTSeq run with default parameters. Does anyone have a preference for one tool vs the other? If so, why?

Read the featureCounts paper. They have compared with other quantification tools.
