It is pretty hard to say one is older that another considering they all have the same origins. They split out into separate styles during the last century. My reference shows that the first Goju break out started in 1937. Shorin Ryu shows a few years later in 1940. There are other sub-branches of both over the following few years.

What is the difference between shotokan karate and Goju ryu karate?

4th kyu in Meibukan Goju-ryu. The key to what separates Goju from numerous other styles of karate is in its name. "Goju" is made up of the Japanese words "go" (hard), and "ju" (soft), literally meaning hard-soft style karate. Hard refers to the straight/linear closed hand techniques. Soft refers to the more circular open hand techniques. The style is a combination of the two. I find it to have less kicking and more focus on "kata" (forms) than Shotokan. Shotokan was derived in Japan based on Shorin-ryu karate from Okinawa.

Goju ryu vs shotokan ryu?

There should be no "VS" of which style is better in the martial arts. Any style has it's benefits. It's more of the person, their dedication and their discipline. There is no one style better than any other. Historically, Shotokan was created in the 1930's in Japan by modifying Shorin-Ryu karate. Both Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu originated on Okinawa and evolved from combining the local wrestling and grappling with the striking of White Crane Kung Fu.
