Both are great to be honest and both are very difficult to pull off.
You're not giving the play tonight nearly enough credit. Down 1 he has the knowledge to drive for the rebound, grabs the ball with 0.5 left and it's off his hand with 0.1 left to take the lead and avoid elimination.
The shot over Embid is nice (Simmonds doesn't contest it TBH) and maybe a bit harder from a degree of difficulty perspective but I actually think the play tonight was just as remarkable.
Game 7 buzzer beaters are rare for sure...but I'm not sure I've ever seen an offensive rebound and put back with 0.5 seconds left to avoid elimination...so it's just as if not more rare.
