Lee's Palace is much better suited to viewing a show, in that there are good sightlines from pretty much every spot in the club. The celings are high, maybe 20 feet, and the stage is fairly big/elevated.
The Horseshow is small, dark and cramped - awesome for a sweaty rock show, but the sightlines are crap, the stage is small and low to the ground, and the layout is not that conducive to watching a show.
Making it to the washroom at either venue is a bit of a task in that you have to make it to the door, and then tackle a flight of stairs. (For what it's worth, the bathroom at The Horseshoe is much nicer/bigger/cleaner than Lee's.
Both venues have good sound systems.
Lots of historical musical significance at both venues.
My choice is Lee's Palace.
