They're not completely dissimilar, I don't know what you believe they are to think that. They both have the same duration of CC, but beyond that Amumu's ult has superior CC type, AoE radius, cooldown and is instant-cast. Thresh has the better damage and scaling (which is a bigger deal than it initially looks seeing he can potentially gain infinite AP via harvesting souls), mana costs, and the walls actually last for a short duration, letting him legitmately zone with it.

I'd give the edge to Thresh for raw CC output, and destroys Amumu for utility seeing how his lantern basically grants an ally a huge gap closer (Darius or Udyr, anyone?). Amumu still one-ups him for damage though, at least until late-lategame when Thresh has a ton of souls to beef his AP.
