Differences between FTDNA matching data and GedMatch matching data

In running a specific one-to-one match I noticed that GedMatch was showing more matching segments between me and the person than FTDNA does. (My test was an Ancestry test imported into FTDNA, and the other is an FTDNA test). Also that our matching segment was longer than what FTDNA says it is. Which set of matching should I trust?

FTDNA says that we share a total of 34.65 over 12 segments with the longest at 14.47

GedMatch says that we share a total of 74.3 with the longest at 16.9 (I manually counted 26 segments from the table)
