Comments about OpenSimulator as a Alternative to Second Life
Basically, OpenSimulator is the free, open-source, reverse-engineered version of the Second Life® engine, which you access with the same viewer. As a consequence, you can see exactly the same kind of content — but running from your own server at home, if you wish, for zero hosting costs.
1Open Simulator is just a Server API, But Second Life is a complete Game.

Comments about IMVU as a Alternative to Second Life
It's IM with avatars, not at all a virtual world that can be explored in the same fashion as SL.
1Not very user friendly. Navigation is difficult. Customization of avatar looks is very limited. A lot of things cost real world money to do
0Not enough expansion on IMVU's part
