They are both good, Maxima is owned by a guy named Dick Lechien, if you followed motocross in the 80's you would have heard of his son Ron Lechien. Motul is a highly respected european oil company, the have been involved in racing for a very long time. I have used Maxima in the past, I have not used Motul but if it was better supported in the US, I would not hesitate to use it.
