I've been looking at both of these decks for a while now and both seem to have some potential as being a great deck in Legacy. Kevin Binswanger suggested that Voroshstill has the edge over Its the Fear because of "the sturdier manabase and a perceived better resistance to early game assaults" Both decks pack cards like P. Deed, Countertop, Tarmogoyf ect. However the deck are quite different from one another and deserve some attention.

4 Intuition
3 Pernicious Deed

1 Eternal Witness
4 Force of Will
2 Engineered Explosives
Lands
4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
4 Tropical Island

1 Academy Ruins
Sideboard:

I think Its the Fear plays more like a control deck with Intuition, Shackles, StP and Life from the Loam. However Voroshstill has Edicts, more Engineered Explosives, Manalands/Wastelands + Crucible Of Worlds and Standstill. It may be a preference or maybe one is really superior to the other. At any rate, I thought this would make a good discussion to see which one ends up getting the edge or why you would play one over the other in any given instance.
