While both offer a globally recognised UK degree, the choice of which is better depends on what a student is looking for. The Uni Stirling UAE campus is better for affordability, access to the Asian job market, and closer proximity to home for Indian students.
Uni Stiring Scotland is better for a traditional "university town" study environment in the UK, and for a career in Europe.
