I expect you've barely scratched the surface.  There's a huge
technical literature on algorithmic text classification, going back
more than four decades.  Spam identification is one instance of that
problem.  Dozens of schemes have been tried.  If you want to compare
two specific schemes, bottom line is that you have to try them both,
head-to-head, uning careful statistical testing.

Sorry, but I just don't have any quick answers or insights for you.
