I've played both Basara 3 and SW 3 on Wii and Basara was better (still just an ok multiplayer timesink).
I prefer the combat system in Basara, because in classic Capcom tradition, it's way more flexible.
Samurai Warriors had more characters, but Basara's characters were more different between them.
Both have co-op during campaign mode.
Basara 3 has music from Shadow of the Colossus' composer and T's music.
Differences?
Basara is more over the top than SW (more comedy, Tadakatsu Honda is a mech, etc).
Samurai Warriors hass prettier girls and Basara has prettier boys, but you'll need an LBGTA (or something like that) member to confirm this.
