Skills: More refined.
Physicality: Stronger/Meaner.
Leadership: Last playoffs is all the proof you need. They were down 4-0 or something without Kopitar against the Sharks and he basically single-handedly tied the game.
Age: Younger
Defense: More poise - less mistakes by a long shot.

What makes Subban special though is not that he's probably the only black NHL semi-star right now but it's the fact that he pushes himself to improve at an astonishing pace. I honestly don't know where his limits are, but I sure hope he's nowhere near them now.
Stronger and meaner?

Subban is 6' 202 lbs
Doughty is 6'1" 209 lbs and out of shape, so its fat

Younger by 1 year
Skills more refined now, but in a few years????

You forgot one of the most important factors, PK as determination and maturity. Doughty is a fat party boy. If they keep this up, PK will be the better D in a few years. PK's development is incredibly fast in the past 3 years and as everything to be as good as Doughty, and with the better attitude.
