LBP's only real advantage in this matchup is its excellent level editor. Sure, it's art style is very nice as well, but not on par with Galaxy's incredible use of colour, shapes, and composition.
As a platformer, LBP is let down by horribly floaty jumping physics.
By contrast, Galaxy's platforming is bolstered by near-perfect controls and physics.
Galaxy also holds the upper hand aurally with one of the greatest scores in gaming history.
LBP is not a bad game, but it's not in the same league as Mario Galaxy.
As other have already said, NSMBWii would be a better match-up to LBP; at least they share a genre.
