Neither of them have terribly good onward connections, though.
Both give you the Bakerloo, and WJ gives you the NLL; QP will one
day soon give you some form of NLL as well. I would guess that
most people commuting into Euston take the tube from there into
offices in the west end or the City, or somewhere between. The
NLL doesn't help with any of that (through running to the ELLX
may one day get you to Shoreditch High Street, which is near the
City), and the Bakerloo only helps you if you're right at the
Oxford Circus end of town (which many people are, of course - but
still a minority, i think).

Well, the bennefits of interchanging at WJ instead of QP need to be
taken in terms of direct destinations rather than lines.

QP will give you potentially westwards Overground connections to
Willesden Junction, though the Overground will probably terminate
at QP otherwise the Bakerloo would be capacity constrained over the
whole line north of there, due to the need to share track for a
tiny two station stretch. Eastwards gives you Stratford, and
potentially the East London railway route.

Willesden Junction on the other hand will give you all that plus
*direct* Overground services to Clapham, Richmond, and Barking.

And a nightmarish interchange, presumably.

Not at all. It's a simple stairs-and-corridor link between the two
island platforms, and there are lifts too (step-free according to the
Tube map).
