EMALS allows for smooth acceleration.
Steam yanks hard which puts strain on planes and reduces their longevity.

One is taking off sailing into a strong headwind, the other is not. So it's not really a fair comparison. But you already knew that.

Steam needs an accumulator
EMALS needs flywheels

Steam takes up more space below deck
EMALS costs more

Steam is proven
EMALS offers fine tuning and eliminates cold shots

All things considered EMALS is the better option if you can afford it.
