> From what I can tell LLVM has a simpler codebase so that's a point in its favor

That may have been true at one point, but I don't think it is any more.

Are you referring to the first or the second part of that sentence?

The simplicity of the LLVM source. Edited for clarity.

LLVM sources are equally, if not more so, complicated than GCC's sources. To make matters worse, LLVM functionality is broken up into dozens of libraries, so there's a fair bit more tracing that needs to be done to understand what's going on in Clang vs GCC.
