From observations, I would say one of the major influencing factors in determining what drugs personally are more likely to lead to dependency, is your taste i.e. whether you're an "up" drugs person or a "down" one. Do you prefer to be laid back, or to be charging?
Some might argue that G is both a depressant and a stimulant in it's actions, but if you can't normally slow down at will or find it difficult to sleep normally etc, then G could turn to quite a fancy IMO.
But, on the other hand, if you're a six coffees a day man, then meth might seem like the ultimate treat. It could even become something that replaces the 6 cups a day!
Used sensibly and irregularly, and disregarding possible health dispositions (psychological related, cardio/vascular disease, high BP etc), then neither meth nor G is possibly much worse or dangerous than the other, although meth has been shown to be neurotoxic even in small dosages.
G on the other hand is still a bit of an unknown. Discounting for a moment the dangers of over dosing; while permanent changes in brain function may be minor if any occur at all, there is nevertheless risks which accompany most drugs causing dramatic affects at GABA receptors. These dangers concern withdrawal symptoms and the accompanying physiological conditions which can prove life threatening.
Something that can make a drug potentially more or less addictive is the comedown. If something flattens you for days after, you're more likely to initially do it less, or at least plan to use when a suitable recovery time is available. But any drug that gives no "payback-introspective phase" is much more likely to be used spontaneously.
Perhaps then, as someone yet to decide, maybe the fundamental questions to ask yourself are; What's my favourite flavour? Am I an "up", a "down", or a "happily balanced in the middle" person, and how might that affect my susceptibility to regularly using either drug?
