No, you cannot use both together, there was once a mod that combined the two but that has since been abandonned.
The different approach to realism that each has, means that one will break features of the other.
I would tell you what I think is different between the two mods, but this would only cause dispute.
GW struggled for some time after it's release becasue some were quick to label it a graphics and sound mod, and NYGM was often percieved to be the realistic alternative.
Of course this wasn't true, as GW was (and is) also a realism mod, but one that incorporated a lot of visual and audio content as well for better immersiveness.
In the end people always generally agreed that the two mods had different, but both valid approaches to realism or historical accuracy... and the advice given: try both and see which one you like.
The next GW release, while I'm not going to reveal any content, I can assure you pushes the realism envelope much further, while keeping the game playable. I get the impression from what the team has done so far, that the improvement between GW 1.1 and GWX will be almost as great as that between GW 1.1 and Stock SH3. Only the final product will tell though.
Try both and pick you're favourite, but be sure to try GWX when it's released!
