The Titleist GT2 / GT3 / GT4 and the PING G440 Max / LST / SFT are dead even on overall Every18 score (97 each), so the decision comes down to how they differ underneath. The Titleist GT2 / GT3 / GT4 is both the cheaper buy (about $425 used vs $530) and the stronger value pick, which makes it the safer choice if budget matters. They split the two traits most golfers care about: the PING G440 Max / LST / SFT is the more forgiving drivers, while the Titleist GT2 / GT3 / GT4 is the faster one — so pick the trait your game needs most. Bottom line: choose the Titleist GT2 / GT3 / GT4 if you fit its profile (seamless thermoplastic speed); choose the PING G440 Max / LST / SFT if you lean toward lighter speed.
