It's hard to say, they are different on various levels and will depend on some of your personal preferences. For example, NYU is in the middle of a huge city. USC is in a big city, but it has a much more campus-like feel. Whether those things matter to you will influence which one you might prefer.
Regarding academics, again, it depends on the field that may be of interest to you. For example, USC has a very strong communication program. But NYU is better in other areas (e.g. more traditional fields like economics).
If sports is a big deal to you then USC may be more exciting as it has some serious sports programs while NYU is not huge on that.
I highly recommend visiting both schools to get a feel for how you enjoy the local environment. You should try to meet with some students, possibly stay in dorms to get as good a feel as possible for what it would be like to live and go to school there.

USC is a really good school, but NYU is better in general.
