at what?
i prefer rFactor as the mods give it mode depth, but there are those that prefer LFS for the driving physics

Depends who you ask 
LFS is easier to set up than rF
LFS has better car ' feel ' when using a steering wheel compared to vanilla rf
rFactor + RealFeel plugin cancels the above advantage out when used with mods that support it
rF has a massive range of additional car mods / tracks available for download - look at http://www.rfactorcentral.com/index.cfm -
Both have mainly good lag-free online racing compared to some other PC racing titles
Try the demo of LFS and see what you think of it. I'm not sure how up to date rF's demo is, but you don't get the full benefits of what it is about as the demo can't use car mods / additional tracks afaik. You do get 48hrs to ask for a refund after you buy it though ( online download )

Depends what you want out of the game. I don't care for driving specific real cars or tracks and don't like rFactor's handling or Forcefeedback effects. I'm heavily biased towards LFS because I prefer the way the game looks, plays and works with the online http://www.lfsworld.net stats.
Do you have a wheel? Try both the demos.

Yep, i think it's best known for its multiplayer.
Personally the biggest multiplayer rfactor race i've been involved in was a V8 Supercars race with 30 cars. T'was nuts.
Vanilla rfactor isn't that great, but with the amount of mods and tracks available it's like 20 racing games in 1.

It did until they added tyre deformation, now it feels like the real thing.
Although if you drove the Sauba then you would have had tyre deformation.
Ditto.
Opposite for me LFS feels like truck racing and rFactor feels more natural, I don't like the rFactor real feel plugin though it makes the wheel feel very sloppy about the centre.
FFB is very subjective.
