They are very similar in that lethal injection has a 1% botched execution rate, with execution by nitrogen hypoxia, most likely less.
Why?
"botched" represents human error and with Nitrogen hypoxia, you have a nitrogen gas tank, a valve a tube and a mask, nothing with which human error would be present in an execution, plus we have a well-documented 60 years of known peaceful and sudden deaths by nitrogen hypoxia, within industrial accidents as well as suicides, with non-lethal human experiments, showing a time to unconsciousness of about 20 seconds, with feelings of euphoria, sometimes, present and no pain involved, no suffocation effect, just unconsciousness, prior to those deaths.
The error prone or fraudulent reporting of "botched" lethal injections are, now, legendary just as the media and anti-death penalty folks duplicated with Kenneth Smith's "horrendous" execution by nitrogen hypoxia which, of course, was totally peaceful and proven, as such, via the lawsuit, recently settled:
“The resolution of this case confirms that Alabama’s nitrogen hypoxia system is reliable and humane,” said Attorney General Marshall. “Miller’s complaint was based on media speculation that Kenneth Smith suffered cruel and unusual punishment in the January 2024 execution, but what the State demonstrated to Miller’s legal team undermined that false narrative. Miller’s execution will go forward as planned in September.”

The state of Alabama punctured a man's bladder trying to get a peripheral IV and denied they had a "problem." I'm not going to take their press release at face value.
The terms of the settlement are confidential, as both parties have confirmed.
"(death row inmate) Miller entered into a settlement on favorable terms to protect his constitutional right to be free from cruel and unusual punishments,” Mara E. Klebaner, an attorney representing Miller wrote in an email Monday night.
Marshall described the settlement as a victory for the use of nitrogen gas as an execution method. His office said it will allow Miller’s execution to be carried out in September with nitrogen gas.
