Veritas' jointer plane is low angle, whereas the Lie-Nielsen is not. Can
someone tell me which one is better under which circumstances?

I'd like to buy the Veritas because it is cheaper, but I don't want to
make a mistake.


Personal preference. If you're cheap, get the Veritas. I've a couple of
theirs, and I like 'em fine. The bevel up design makes for more knuckle
clearance if you're a ham-handed type like me. LNs are a work of art as
well as a working plane, so if you like really pretty, spend some more.
