Do hamsters bite more than gerbils?
I would say that both could bite, and both have sharp teeth, but, often, hamsters can get scared more easily than gerbils, and gerbils are social animals, so they usually like to be handled a lot, while hamsters would hide in their nest/burrow all day and want to be alone (they are solitary). I believe more likely hamsters would bite.

What animal bites more hamsters or gerbils?
Gerbils tend to bite less in the first place, and if you get them from a respectable breeder and not from a pet store, the gerbil will probably already be hand-tamed and have no reason to bite except if it is threatened. Hamsters are nocturnal, and are not to keen on being woken up, and are therefore more prone to biting. As for hurting less, gerbils only nip unless they mean it and rarely draw blood, while hamsters tend to be biting to bite.
