Effectiveness can mean a few things...

Security wise Outpost is easier to configure to be extremely secure. It also provides better outbound application filtering.

and

Look 'n' Stop is lighter on system resources and is only slightly more time constraining to customize.

also

Even though L'n'S is more lightweight, Outpost works better with applications using extremely high numbers of network connections, such as P2P software.
