No mask scent is better than camo, except for NPCs (camo works on them SOMETIMES).
Depends on when it breaks, but you need resources to use it again.
Camo seems to break easier than mask scent with me.

Ya'll are nuts. It works on NPCs most of the time, one could say almost all of the time. If you don't want to mess with NPC while hunting its great.
With my BE clothes on mask still breaks a lot on Kreatles, not quite rarely but close to it with camo.

Camo has the ability to work on NPCs (although some bugs show up in this and you will often get attacked anyway).
It does last longer than maskscent assuming it does not break first.
As for breaking more often than maskscent, it's hard to say. In theory, it should break less often. In practice, both break often enough to be annoying.

Hehe, camouflage is one of the reasons that I will keep my Master Ranger / Teras Kasi template once the CU goes live.
Thanks to the almighty camouflage, I can meditate in the middle of an Imperial Base without so much as a struggle.
Hehe, my template may not have commando in it, but I'm gonna feel like a Guerilla in the wilds of Endor, which I might just call home after the CU goes live hehe.
But, we shall see about that.

Oh, another thing--you can apply camo to other players. Maskscent is self only.

This is probably my favorite aspect of Camo. I can camo an entire group and then we don't have to fight every little creature and npc along the way to our destination. However, I have yet to find a group where every member understands this. There is always some over buffed, over armored moron who insists on attacking everything in sight causing them to aggro on the rest of us.

One question from me, can you maskscent and cammo at the same time?

My Rangers find camo very helpful, and it does not break as often as mask scent does for me. I am pretty successful at times with it working against NPCs as well which maskscent has never worked against (funny how humoids have better senses then wild creatures have). It is planet specific and I believe is should be. I am pretty sure you only need level one to use any camo kit, but you can't make them yourself. You will have to buy them from other Rangers that have these levels, which isn't necessarily a bad thing either (helping fellow Rangers out is always good!).
Just my experience with the two so far in game, and I have been a Scout the day it went live and a Ranger not very long after that. Well actually I was a Ranger in beta for the develoopment of SWG, so I guess I have been a Ranger before it went live in reality.
