As far as I know, Bitcoin and Litecoin implement transactions in exactly the same way, so the principles of privacy should be exactly the same for both.

+ Litecoin is hardly used, so there's a much smaller pool of people to hide in (or mix with). Although I guess obscurity could be a plus in that no one is really interested in investigating it.

There is no substantial technical difference between Litecoin and Bitcoin transactions.

Litecoin does not offer any additional "privacy techniques". The only differences are:

* address scheme: Litecoin addresses start with an L, Bitcoin standard addresses start wtih a 1.
* Volume: Bitcoin volume is much higher, so it might be easier to obscure a payment among the other transactions.
* Attention: Bitcoin might have more attention of law enforcement.

Note: The last two points are based on speculation.
