GL is better for isolated - your economy rockets once you get to Astronomy and before then it gives +2 commerce per coastal city which isn't much but helps support your expansion. You only want to work coastal tiles with fish (since you want to grow cottages) so the collossus isn't so good.
On archipelego maps, the collosus equally valuable since you won't have so many land tiles to work. I try and build a strategy around getting both for archipelago maps.
