Well, usbmon is better in theory, but not in practice yet. Glen wants to
capture 100% of data. Here's the quote:

This is the job I assigned to as-yet-not-existing "binary" interface.
The usbmon in Linus' tree only has "text" interface, which clips
data on purpose: only first 32 bytes are captured.

It ought to be trivial to write something which would capture all the
data, by copying mon_text.c and modifying it. Well, at least I think
it trivial. I tried to make that code as transparent and straightforward
as possible.
