I'm trying to fit only one of these into my exalted deck, so I need some advice. If you had to choose one of the two, which would it be? Servant of Nefarox or Guardians of Akrasa ?
I'd say it depends a lot on your deck and what it's trying to do, and on the removal you expect to see. There's enough small burn in the Standard format that running Servant becomes a liability. The Guardians makes more sense in that regard, since it does a better job of actually blocking, which is what you want your non-attacking exalted dudes to do.
Also, people are so bad at answering a question in a helpful manner.

How was either of enigma (second post) and my post not helpful? Both gave new options to look at, that we both thought were better options. Want me to bring you a ladder? To get off your high horse?
If you really want one or the other, Guardian. But if you have the blacksources nighthawks would be good.

Because it failed to address the actual question of comparing the two. Sure, the OP didn't give a ton of input to work from, but there's a clear framework there. I'm not saying your input had no basis or provided no aid; I'm just saying it didn't really relate to the question.
To use another example, suppose I asked "Which 1 mana card draw spell should I use first: Serum Visions or Sleight of Hand ?" Again, that doesn't offer a lot of context; you could infer that I'm referring to Modern, but I didn't give much to work on, which is my error. But answering "Neither. Use Ancestral Recall ." doesn't do much to get the conversation where it needs to go.
All-in-all, mine was a tongue-in-cheek comment, and these type of responses happen all the time, whether they're made sincerely or to be snide/funny. But they're never helpful in answering the question at hand.
