They're not the same thing. Strava is hugely popular, and the social and competitive components are huge factors. Garmin is more akin to RWGPS or MMR in that there is a social and competitive component, but it's not well populated or flushed out.
They'll all do a fine job of tracking your mileage and training.
If you have a Garmin, there's no realson to limit yourself to one. Sync your Garmin account with Strava nd MMR, and upload your rides to RWGPS. You'll very quickly discover which one you like best.
