Nexus 5 or Moto X?

[cos]

I'm going to replace my Galaxy Nexus, and keep the T-Mobile service I currently have. Given that, do you have an opinion on whether the Moto X or Nexus 5 is better, and why?

Reviews mostly seem to have a hard time choosing one over the other. What I care about:
* Battery life. Reviews are also confused about that, some say the Moto X has longer battery life and some say the Nexus 5.
* Being able to use the unlocked phone internationally (I won't get a locked phone).

* Good, non-jittery GPS that's good enough for navigation/Waze (this is one place the Galaxy Nexus fails very badly)
* Non-laggy app performance
* Easy to read display mainly for maps - but as long as it's not worse than the Galaxy Nexus, I'll like the display.

What I don't care about:
* Rooting. I don't plan to do that.
* Streaming music. I mainly use my iPad to carry music & podcasts around, for the car or for flights. No phone battery is good enough for this use, IMO; iPads last forever.

Edit: Thanks ckd, pir, lizkayl, sariel_t, for bits of helpful info. I ended up choosing Moto X. My main reasons were longer battery life and a smaller more comfortable to hold phone, though I've heard that I'll also really like the "active notifications", and that the camera is much faster.

My rule of thumb is that T-Mobile works in cities and along Interstates. I would expect it to have a lot of holes in New Hampshire. My main phone for texts and calls is still my old Sprint Treo 650; I use the smartphone as a data device for running maps and other apps. I've got a monthly prepaid T-Mobile SIM (automatic withdrawal each month, no contract) with 5M high speed data / month, which I've never come close to using up. I've only ever turned roaming on when it was necessary in foreign countries, where I wasn't using the T-Mobile SIM anyway.

Well that's not inspiring.
