I can share what I like about each having experience with both sig (p365) and Glock (45). The field strip can be more humbug with the sig as theres a few more things going on at once compared to the glock, disassembling the trigger group (glock) or fire control group (sig) is where I prefer the Glock due to simplicity getting a deep clean.
The advantage of being modular definitely goes to the sig because of the serialized part being the fire control group (trigger assembly) and not the grip module (frame). For example, one could buy a standard p365 and later on if a larger XL sized pistol is desired, you can then purchase additional XL size grip module (frame), slide, barrel, recoil spring, and magazine adapter plates and have essentially a micro-compact 365 AND the larger XL size or combine both to get a p365X. I'm not 100% certain but with Glocks I believe you would have to buy both a G43, G48, and G43X to have the same effect.
There might be even more modular options within the p320 size vs the p365 size fire control group as well so you could change your pistol size based on your needs at the time i.e. full-size, mid-size, compact all amongst the p320 size fire control group.
Reliability wise I believe they are both very reliable. I have not had any issues yet with only basic maintenance and cleaning after every session. round count each is 1800 G45 and 1200 p365 fired any ammo put thru it federal, pmc bronze, remington umc, fiocchi, blazer, speer lawman, speer gold dot, & some handloads.
For sights, you can always change those to suit your needs/liking.
I see more Glock parts than sig parts on the LGS shelves in regard to small replacement parts.
Glock magazines are much cheaper than sig magazines. OEM Glock mags can be had for $25-30ish, Pmags for Glock $10-12, and the sig magazines are $40-50 each.
Personally I am staying way from the P320s for now because of the issues I've heard/read about Un-commanded/unintentional discharges and sig blames some internal failure whether it be a weakened spring or something else.
If you have funding for a Sig P226, that is definitely a nice tool to fulfill a full-size metal frame pistol, I've seen going around $1500-$1700.
