Primarily their review system which is hands down the best in the industry, as well as the laundry list of shady practices they've banned companies from employing. They're not perfect by any means but they're still head and shoulders above the competition. They're also at least somewhat responsive to the community with them either implementing new policies to protect consumers when major scandals happen and even occasionally being proactive and banning bad practices when companies start talking about implementing them.
As for GOG they're a bit of a mixed bag recently. They started carrying games with DRM at some point so they're no longer the DRM free zone they once were, although the majority of their catalog is still DRM free. I believe they do warn you when a game has DRM though. On the plus side though they recently committed to improving their support for Linux which many people will be happy to see.
