It seems like what i2p is doing largely overlaps with what tor does. How do the two compare, and why would you use one over the other?

You can torrent over TOR but it is highly discouraged. because it will put a increased load on the network.
Also, unless a torrent client is specifically written with privacy in mind, they are likely to leak your real IP by connecting to trackers/peers using UDP, which is not tunneled through Tor.
It’s not discouraged in I2P, so torrent away. :-)
