Well, the lieder, the solo piano music and the horn trio are all good reasons to regard Brahms as a great composer, in many ways far ahead of Saint-Saens, Gounod, or any of the other French composers he detested.
But as you implicitly concede when you say that you listen to Saint-Saens more often than Brahms, it isn't simply about who is "better" (the New York Times to the contrary), the wide variety in art is a large part of its appeal. Any collection of music entitled "The Best of ...." makes me wince. If someone's music is truly worth hearing, it's worth getting beyond a publisher's or editor's arbitrary choice of "the best".
