Of course awstats or something local on the server is going to be more accurate  |
Exactly what I would think. It's common sense. Awstats typically uses the actual server access logs. There's really no comparison. That said, GA tends to track certain metrics which the typical awstats install does not. It isn't really a question of one being better than the other. They both have different potential uses. However for a raw hit metric, awstats has to be more accurate because it uses the actual raw server access log compared to GA which typically uses a javascript based tracking code.
