Miller is the much better player and it isn't really close. Hague is a 2nd pairing player at best and more suited for the 3rd pairing. Miller averaged the 2nd most minutes behind Fox on the Rangers defense. He is a 1st pairing guy on a lot of teams, but is probably best suited as a 2nd pairing player.

Miller would be on the 1st pairing in Calgary, Hague would slot in behind Bahl.
Hague has won a cup and his acquisition cost will be less.
They are both very close in terms of "skill" on the backend, both heavy bodies who play with grit.

I'd be taking whichever one costs less because I see them as equal, but I give the edge to Hague based on playoff pedigree.
