These 2 manga are the founders of the mecha genre, and they heavily influenced almost all super robot manga/anime that came afterwards (including Neon Genesis Evangelion, G Gundam, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann). They have a very similar-looking art style and overall feeling. They're both relatively light-hearted, but they have plenty of GAR, manliness, and hot-blooded mecha pilots. If you want to see what early mecha manga/anime was like, go read either one of these manga.

Both are important battle shonen series. Mazinger initially ran in Jump, and is essentially the progenitor to all Jump-style battle shonen. Babel is more focused on tactics and strategies, with a central rival figure.
