    Getting the bus from Dublin airport to Galway, the fare seems to be the same price, just wondering is there any difference? I've never travelled with either

    No it isn't! GoBus is a completely independent, private company.

    You are thinking of GoBE which only operates to Cork, which is a joint partnership between GoBus and BE, where BE seem to no longer have any practical involvement day to day. GoBE uses private coaches, drivers and no longer use BE stations.

    GoBus operates to Galway and has zero involvement with BE on that route.

    Answering OP's question. I slightly prefer Citylink on that route, nice Vanhool coaches and the chance of getting to go on a lovely Vanhool overdecker. Easily the best coaches I've ever travelled on in Ireland. GoBus Volvos are decent but not as nice. But either way you would be good with both.
