I have a BlueBird XL, it's great and I'm glad I bought it, but I got it as a demo kiln and got a super deal on it.
If I had to do it all over again, and I was going to be paying list price, I'd definitely get the Glass Hive kiln. Comparing those two you're looking at I'd say two things jump out at me - interior height, and firebricks in the door vs fibre insulation, both cases the Glass Hive is better.
I've heard Glass Hive's customer service is excellent, many others here can attest to it. Also in my mind, being able call up and talk to the guy who put your kiln together is a huge plus.
