Iron Treads or Great Tusk in AG?
Pretty much self-explanatory. They usually fill similar roles, such as bulky spinners or AV attackers, but their differing move pool also comes into play, such as Iron Treads' ability to work as a spinning pivot with resistance to most hazards and Volt Switch, while Tusk can work as more of a setup sweeper with Bulk Up and Protosynthesis. I am aware that the choice is mainly preference, so I would like a detailed list of pros and cons for each.

You didn’t ask there, so I asked for you.
Although they are both Ground-type spinners with access to Knock Off, the similarities pretty much end there. The choice of which one to use will vary depending on the needs of your team. Great Tusk is more flexible in what set it can run and is the better Pokemon overall. It can be a potent wallbreaker that supports its teammates with itsoffensive utility set, a dangerous win condition with itsBulk Up set, a top revenge killer with itsChoice Scarf set, or a valuable defensive Pokemon that notably checks Koraidon. All of this does not mean that Iron Treads does not have its uses, however. Thefuture Paradox Donphanis able to check Miraidon and Flutter Mane—especially Calm Mind + Agility variants of the former.
