Why miles better than Tarmogoyf? Because when both players have Tarmos, you get a ground stall. However when you have an Angel and the opponent has a Tarmo, you can deal damage in the air and he can't block it, and gain back the life so that you don't get damaged by his return attack. Therefore Tarmogoyfs can't stall up the ground when you have Angel.
Why not Stalker? Because Stalker lacks the lifegain, and thus when you're put on defensive, such as against Thresh, you can still attack with Angel, but not Stalker as you have to keep him back to block for fear of your life total being destroyed on the return attack.
