Is Jubilee more comfortable than Oyster?

Generally yes, because five narrower links articulate more finely and follow the wrist. The difference is most noticeable in warm weather and on smaller wrists.

Which references offer both?

The steel GMT-Master II is the clearest example, with BLNR and GRNR available on either bracelet. Datejust is Jubilee-dominant, while Submariner and Explorer are Oyster-only.
