System comparison GURPS Dungeon Fantasy vs DnD 5e...?

Hi everyone,
a friend of mine is wondering if GURPS Dungeon Fantasy or DnD 5e would be the best choice for his next upcoming dungeon crawling game...
(Maybe there already is a thread about that question but I did not find it, seems the forum search function does not really work...)

I myself have no experience with DnD 5e, yet, so the question goes to all people here having played both systems:

What are the arguments, the advantages, to prefer GURPS over DnD 5e?

Basically I know that GURPS is of course the more flexible, more modular system, but I'd like to hear some specifics... ;)

And on the other side are their downsides of using GURPS over DnD in your opinion? Are their categories where DnD wins a comparison in your opinion?

Thank you all! :)
