how are people picking Rae? I mean you can say linx is better than any G album(an album that wouldn't exist without G)... but Rae isn't close to being as nice a G.

G Rap is obviously the more skilled rapper, but as someone above said, he doesn't have an album as good as Linx.
So the answer is going to vary depending on what criteria you use, like all questions of this sort always do.

For example this is why GOAT list discussions are typically such a waste of time round these parts, everyone is always using different criteria: catalog or influence, sales or raw skill, etc. and everyone just ends up posting past each other

He may have a better album, but he was outshined by ghost on his best album. So I dont get this "Imma pick Rae cause he had better album" argument. If we go talk about the albums, the next one he released immobilarity was a very mediocre project, unremarkable, matter of fact the next good album he did after his debut album was basically a sequel OB4CL2, and it happened 14 years later. Inconsistent.

G Rap was always consistent, hey may not have RZA blessing him with those beats but his albums always had a good quality. And like you said he is the more skilled rapper. And he was actually one of the influences for Rae.

Rae just rambles honestly. I dont know what he is even talking about half the time. He lost his voice at some point too and just uses the whisper flow now. He got more classics than G Rap in the modern era, but rap wise he cant ride with Giancanna. G Rap dont really tell stories like he used to. Rae is one of the GOAT storytellers.
