Simple answer: it depends. Brewer's yeast has more protein per ~30 g serving than wheat germ (16 g vs 6 g). Additionally, brewer's yeast has more fiber (6 g vs. 4 g) & fewer carbohydrates (13 g vs. 15 g), giving it a higher percentage fiber content per serving (~50 % of carbs compared to 25 % of carbs). This means it should be a lower glycemic food, a consideration worth noting for diabetics. Besides these facts, brewer's yeast has greater B vitamin content (all of the major B vitamins) than wheat germ. It has slightly lower folate content. Wheat germ has more mineral content for certain minerals (like manganese & zinc) than brewer's yeast, yet less copper, selenium, & chromium.
Does your question include the issue of "which food tastes better"? In terms of taste, brewer's yeast can be bitter (depending on the manufacturer), whereas wheat germ has a sweet flavor. Wheat germ (& perhaps brewer's yeast) may go rancid if not refrigerated/frozen.
The ultimate factor in determining which is best is evaluating which food best suits your needs without causing problems of excess. Situations such as protein need, carbohydrate requirements, & vitamin & mineral requirements should help you conclude what works for you.

Brewers yeast is added to pet food for its nutritional value, since it is a good source of protein and several of the B vitamins. Bakers yeast would not provide the same nutritional benefits, so it should not be substituted for brewers yeast.
