I have used both and personally I prefer Stoutland. Its Returns are very deadly and its coverage is nice.

No love for old Sandy, have we? Even with just 65 Speed, it becomes capable of running in circles around most of enemies in the Sand, even in the higher tiers. It also have a great STAB move in Earthquake and a supportive movepool to back it up.Sandslash @ Life OrbTrait: Sand SlashEVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HPAdamant Nature- Earthquake- Sword Dance- Stone Edge- Shadow Claw

Stoutland is the answer. It has better speed and and a wider movepool. compared to Sandslash it has less weaknesses, that are very common in the competitive world, such as watet, grass and ice.
