Neither...Porsche
The Gallardo probably gets the edge for daily driver comfort, for lack of a better word. But it's still awfully cramped. Driveability is good, but candidly, the best dual purpose exotic is the Porsche 996/997 TT or GT2.

Gallardo is by far the better daily car so long as you get one with the nose lift system
and don't need to carry large items (front trunk is a joke). The V10 is based on the chain driven Audi V8 (non-RS). I know several people who have had the G for several years, and they say it's a gas, oil, tires car. No big maintenance items. Oh, and avoid the E-Gear as in some cases it is problematic - nor is it as smooth and quiet as the Ferrari F1 system.
If you like how Audis drive, you'll like how the G handles. Very locked down. The R8 is actually a bit more lively. I have to wonder that when they put the V10 in the car, if it will lose some of it's playful nature.
However, don't drive the Ferrari, because your heart will want to overrule your head. Some people don't like the nervous but focused feel of the Ferrari, while others love how it feels utterly hardwired to your tiniest input. Lots of people do use the 360 and F430 as daily drivers. The 360 needs timing belt changes every 3 to 5 years/30K miles, but this can be done via an access panel with the engine in the car. The F430 uses a timing chain, so the biggest service item is gone. But trim and fit and finish on both do not approach that of the Gallardo.
In the end, it depends on your priorities.
