Here's my $.02

BUR's rental car lot is right next to the terminal. LAX involves off-airport locations with busses.

I've seen the TSA line for Terminal 1 LAX go outside and almost to T2 at times; BUR isn't quite as bad.

At BUR, one can walk across the street and take MetroLink/Amtrak and connect to Union Station. At LAX, it's a shuttle to the Green Line.

I'd guess the 10/405/110 combo from LAX might time out longer that the 5/110 combo from BUR.
