LFS and git-annex have subtly different use cases in my experience. LFS is for users developing something with git that has large files in the repo like the classic game development example. git-annex is something you'd use to keep some important stuff backed up which happens to involve large files, like a home folder with music or whatever in it. In my case I do the latter.

What it works really well at is storing research data. LFS can't upload to arbitrary webdav/S3/sharepoint/other random cloud service.
