I think Hendrix was miles ahead of him when it came to songwriting, and obviously innovation. Just about all SRV songs were fairly typical blues songs. Hendrix had some pretty complex songs, having Mitch Mitchell certainly didn't hurt. The song "One Rainy Wish" changes the time signature from the chorus to the verses.

You just don't get much diversity with SRV, there's definitely a lot more with Hendrix.
I always thought Double Trouble kind of held him back. I mean Mitchell and Redding always had some insanely cool parts thrown in here and there and seemed to improvise more while Double Trouble stuck to the songs.
