Firebrand allows a save. IGMS does not. Which means things with evasion are going to be able to take half to no damage. IGMS does not cause that check.

Firebrand is firebased which a lot of creatures are immune to. IGMS is magic damage which nearly nothing is immune to.

IGMS is primarily designed to deal good damage to a couple of targets which is not going to be resisted, saved, evaded or dodged.

Firebrand is primarily designed to deal good fire damage to multiple targets, but is able to be saved against, resisted, dodged, evaded and otherwise absorbed.

Both are useful and viable based on the circumstances.
