Having watched the John Carmack technical presentation on Gear VR, and the importance of a low-persistance display, which only AMOLED can do, I'd say the Gear VR should be superior.

I think that's probably a bit of a reach – the Note's screen only has a 60Hz refresh rate, for one!

60hz is generally considered "good enought" for presence, the the improvement at 90hz is perceptable. Particularly with the low-persistence displays, frame rate is less important than you'd think.

Latency is a bigger problem.
