There can never be an objective comparison. One game is a platform shooter, the other is an open-world sidescrolling beat-em-up with adventure elements.
Even so my vote goes to SOTB. Turrican II clearly plays better, Shadow of the Beast is closer to my heart as an artist. It has better atmosphere, art, and music, and for me it's something that can often trump gameplay. It certainly does in this case.
