This is an apples-to-oranges comparison because they serve completely different functions and are typically used together rather than as competing alternatives. Insulated glass units (IGUs) refer to the structural assembly of two or three glass panes separated by a sealed gap. Low-E (low-emissivity) refers to the microscopic metallic coating applied to the glass to reflect thermal radiant heat. High-performance windows combine both technologies.
