We've owned both.
Both needed trips to the factory.
We now have two P32s.
The Guardian is gone.

The Guardian weighs too much in my opinion.
For the same weight, similar size, the Polymer Kahr 9mm, or the KelTec 9mm come to mind.

The P32 is actually fun to shoot.
The Guardian was uncomfortable to shoot.
(Yes, it is the same caliber, and you would think the heavier gun would be eaier to shoot. Not so. Maybe the Polymer absorbs recoil, I don't know.)

The P32 has a much better trigger, so it is more accurate.
The Guardian would blister your finger if you shot it too much.

The Guardian wins in the looks department.
The P32 is a homely pistol.

The Guardian can be customized, and beautified.
Not much you can do to a P32.

The .32 is not an ideal fight-stopper, but if I choose to carry it, I want the smallest, lightest, launcher.

By this point in the production cycle, both are probably reliable.
(I was on waiting lists to get an early Guardian, and an early P32.)

Remember, the hunt is half of the fun.
