From the look of it, there are two main differences between Guardians and Demons.

 Guardians make contracts only with Irregulars (the "Shinsoo access contract" doesn't really count in this context), while Demons appear to be fairly flexible about their contractees. The Guardians' contracts are more about life, survivability, etc etc, while the Demons' contracts are seemingly all about power...  Surprisingly enough, both Guardians' and Demons' contracts appear to sometime require grave payment for the desired effect, be it the necessity to consume souls to survive (e.g., Hoaqin), or sacrificing one's children's lifespan (e.g., Bloodmadder).

As for the discussion of Shinsoo vs. Magic / Sorcery, I suspect this comparison makes no sense. Shinsoo appears to be basically the universal essence, in other words, mana. So it should probably be something like "Traditional" use of Shinsoo vs. Magic / Sorcery...
