IMO - I have both, I hunt both on hogs, so I can tell the differences between the ones I have. I know alot of people don't like the JRTs because they have had the crap bred out of them for pets.

My JRT "Max" does not have the stamina, nor the bottom of the Jagds that I own. He won't stay out with the curs for long long hunts, He will hunt, but I consider him a hot nose, short range dog, that is hell on a hog, but is a weiny once he gets hurt, in his defense as soon as he is healed he is mad at the hogs again! On another note, He is awesome for training pups, great in super thick brush, and is pretty handy all around dog with a great handle on him. He was a key player in my pack for the TDHA contest weekend, I really only hunt him these days when I know I am going to need his sneaky little rear in the thick stuff, My other dogs will honor him and know what end is what, its crazy that they just make a good team, he will nail a hog just in time to distract to help the other dogs out too. I can talk him to catch a hog when you don't have a catch dog. I love my JRT, even when nobody else does.
The Jagds are far more driven to hunt for themselves, harder headed at times, if you can imagine that!
