Craterhoof can be countered with Force of Will, Emrakul can't. Craterhoof dies to Swords to Plowshares, Emrakul does not. Craterhoof can be removed with Submerge or Neutralized with Maze of Ith, Emrakul can't (at least not the timewalk and the Annihilator 6 will get rid of the Maze pretty fast).

Craterhoof COULD be a devastating finisher but Emrakul always IS.
Craterhoof's casting costs are much lower than Emrakul's though. So he could be interesting as an alternative wincon if we don't combo. But 8 mana seems a bit too much for that.
Craterhoof can be searched up with GSZ, Emrakul can't.
