Sanchez was considered a mid-to-high level prospect with the Boston organization, though there were questions about whether his control would allow him to remain in the starting rotation. When he went over in the Han-Ram trade, I thought he'd either become a solid but unexceptional starter or a good power leftie reliever.
It's a tough call, since their wins potential is clearly the same. If you want strikeouts, go for Johnson, who has power and also better command than Sanchez. But b/c Sanchez is a leftie, he can have a fair amount of success without outstanding peripherals, and may end up winning more. Both are obviously big injury risks...
