Short answer, don't even mention the statistic value (a.k.a the gold value) when doing that comparison.

Somewhat longer answer, statistic value has absolutely no relevance to that comparison. Statistic value only has any meaning when you compare same things The reason is because a stat has so many different situations that alters it effectiveness in game, and making a forced comparison like what you did completely ignores all other situation that makes that stat a stat (AND THERE ARE A LOT OF SITUATIONS YOU ARE IGNORING)

A stat is not just "I heal this amount". A stat is a variable that when called upon by any other mechanics in the game, it should what is being told that it will do. If a champion had a skill that increased damage based on the amount of life-steal you have, then anything that claims to be life steal has to be able to do that as well.

And since differences in life-steal and health regen exist, such as one requires you to be attacking while another can be just achieved by just doing nothing, they have incomparable traits that makes direct comparison rather meaningless. Also, it's narrow.

Just because health regen has a statistical value of 60g doesn't make the stat itself any better or worst compare to life steal's 44g.
