LG G2.
Both are good devices but I would lean strongly towards the LG G2 due to the better camera, smaller bezels and better battery life.
Even though the LG G2 has a larger display the phone size is only slightly larger than the Nexus 5.
I wouldn't worry about updates, LG G2 was confirmed will be receiving Android L, you will get the update eventually, remember software can be upgraded, hardware your stuck with.

Which is better? I really like the Nexus 5, but the battery and speaker seems to be poor. The G2 is a bit bigger with better camera, battery life and speaker. But... L bloatware ruins the g2. The G2 is about 2$ more where i live.

Bloatware? they have a customized interface with a few extras but I wouldn't call that bloatware. Users really should lay off the stock Nexus cool aid because it's highly overrated.
Sounds like you don't want to hear this but the LG G2 is the better device, better battery life, battery camera and larger display but with similar overall dimensions to the Nexus 5, also LG have confirmed it will be receiving Android L.
Of course your free to ignore this advice and get the Nexus 5 anyway.

I love the Nexus 5 and stock android is buttery smooth. However since it is meant to be a developers device it doesn't have the best battery or camera. I actually sold the g2 and picked up an s5. I hate TouchWiz but use nova launcher anyway so it's a non issue. As for bloat, most of the unwanted apps can be disabled. Better battery and camera are big points for me but I am still drawn in by my nexus. I will try out the s5 for a week before i make up my mind.
