Attempts to compare the actions of the crew in this accident with those of the crew in the Hudson ditching are, in my opinion, invidious. The certain conclusion that can be drawn about both incidents, it seems to me, is that, given their respective (and different) circumstances, it is hard (or impossible) to see how either crew could have made a better job than they actually did of salvaging the best possible outcome from the extremely adverse situation that presented.
In short, they both performed with the maximum competence and presence of mind that was required by the circumstances. Equal congratulations are due and no more can be said, imho.
