I would say the LE would definitely have an edge (hahha) over the CG for wood splitting, but thats just speculation and opinion.

It's satin finish may allow it to slide down the wood grain easier (sometimes crinkle coats bind up. especially when new)
Also, sometimes full height flat grinds (imo) split better because th more gradual angle slides down the wood easier, however sometimes wider angles are better and split the wood apart easier. (especially wood that breaks apart easier/ wood that is in shorter pieces)
thats just my opinion though.

It's really all a matter of personnel preference really and I'm not sure that anyone can say which is better.
I think the saber will be more tough though, but the full flat may be a better performer... (again, just my opinion) but which is "better" is up to you really.
