Well Maokai has better much easier time ganking, because to gank you only need to click on the champion, and he also can ward up the map a little with his saplings. However he isn't like Amumu, Naut, or Malphite in that Maokai doesn't have an ult that CC's an entire team but the damage reduction can really help squishies survive in teamfights.

Naut, however, has 4 CC, including his team wide knock up. Naut's CC is quite incredible and it's quite hard to escape a gank from Naut when he used his ult, which can also bait out flashes. Late-game Naut is better as he has a better initiation and better CC. Keep in mind, Naut, excluding his shield, has no sustain unlike Maokai.
