Gideon is better basically 100% of the time, unless you can't cast him. Since mana isn't being punished as much currently the WW doesn't keep him out of the deck. Elspeth is pretty good too, but it's telling that people are choosing Gideon; because Gideon is much much better at killing Jace; where Elspeth is better at getting around TNN.

Use Garruk if you find yourself with Gideon stuck in hand due to WW a lot (or improve your manabase.) Use Gideon if you find yourself losing to Jace a lot. Use Elspeth if you find yourself stuck behind TNN a lot (flying is really good; and KotR being a 5/5 Flyer before you count your lands is ridiculous.)

I'd rather use Elspeth myself a lot of the time; but Gideon's clock is nothing to be sniffed at.
