The one major difference is that with the First Flame, the decision is a one-time event whose consequence you see in a cutscene. Caring for the Fair Lady, however, lets you experience the despair that comes from the slow realization of the futility of your efforts first-hand. It forces you to again and again make the decision between continuing and stopping to care, every time you give her another Humanity. And it really puts you in the shoes of Lord Gwyn, who had to make that same decision for centuries--except he fed the First Flame with his own soul.
By letting you experience making this choice early in the game, the writers set up the context for the final decision (which essentially questions the ethics of euthanasia) that makes it a lot more meaningful than if you had only learned about your options from dialogue and cutscenes.

* If you choose to keep the Fair Lady or the Age of Fire alive, you will inevitably realize the simple yet awful fact: they are both broken beyond repair. No matter how good you are, you cannot restore health to the Fair Lady, just as you cannot bring back the grandeur of the Age of Fire's heyday.
