Memory/Address Sanitizer vs Valgrind


I want some tool to diagnose use-after-free bugs and uninitialized bugs. I am considering Sanitizer(Memory and/or Address) and Valgrind. But I have very little idea about their advantages and disadvantages. Can anyone tell the main features, differences and pros/cons of Sanitizer and Valgrind?

Edit: I found some of comparisons like: Valgrind uses DBI(dynamic binary instrumentation) and Sanitizer uses CTI(compile-time instrumentation). Valgrind makes the program much slower(20x) whether Sanitizer runs much faster than Valgrind(2x). If anyone can give me some more important points to consider, it will be a great help.
