They are both very good players. From the limited number of games I have seen this year;
Saltonstall played wing for last years England Academy side, has also played centre, but is now at FB. Personally I think this is his best position. He is a fast, elusive runner and very dangerous given even the smallest amount of space. At FB he can move into the line when he wishes and has a bit more space. He is a good tackler, but he is not very big (85Kg). He has already scored 13 tries from 21 starts this year and has been in really good form over the past few games. Milner has also moved position from SO to centre. I saw him play Leeds at the HJ when we gave them a good thrashing (ok, slight exaggeration, but the lads did win) and I thought he had a good game. Another good strong runner, has the physique to make a good centre, but is still developing and is about a year younger than Saltonstall.
All just IMO.
