"Toby is the better Peter, Andrew is the better Spider-Man" is how I've read the two described. For a lot of the points I'd agree since Andrew's Peter was a literal skater boy while Toby's was a far more bumbling nerd as early Peter should be.
Look at the two dunking sessions between the two. Tony vs Deathstroke has Peter say "I dont want to fight you, Flash" and Peter sounds extremely anxious about what is going to happen because he's still very unsure of what he can now do. During the fight Peter ends up reflexing his way into decking Flash, while Andrew vs whoever was playing Flash in that one is far more energetic and vociferous, traits more common with Spider-Man than Peter Parker.
The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man was an interesting take. He turned into kind of a dick immediately after he realized he had powers. He absolutely goaded Flash into that fight and was clearly enjoying fucking with him. I honestly think as humans that's probably how we all would react after being bullied and suddenly turning into basically a god.
The way Uncle Ben died in the Toby Maguire film was an accident/coincidence, but in the Andrew Garfield film it was more to him neglecting his responsibilities to screw around with his new powers. It took that sobering moment to bring him back to reality
That, and Tobey Maguire is no Peter Parker.
In No Way Home, I still thought that he was one of the best parts of the movie, along with Garfield.
