The Premier League has the highest wages and sent the most players to this years WC (based on that link above). We all know it is based mostly on the money of their owners. And they spend the money, too, in new signings, as there are more expensive signings than in other leagues.
And still (i am biased, i´m from Germany) i would argue that the Bundesliga is the healthier league. And maybe the better league, too. I would argue that it isn´t worse, at least. The argument that the Bundesliga build the largest part of the UEFA coefficient points through Bayerns (and Dortmunds) success is true, but in last years, you still see other teams performing as well as british teams. There´s Schalke, Wolfsburg and Gladbach will make a run in the Europa league and Leverkusen isn´t worse than Arsenal it seems.
There were other teams before in the last decade with deep Euro runs like Stuttgart, Hamburg, Bremen, too. Of course Bayern is the top dog that will dominate year in and year out, but there´s ten teams that can make a run @the semifinal in the Europa League.
The supporters will come to the Bundesliga arenas in bigger numbers, i don´t know there this comes from, maybe lower ticket prices.
Of course it is really annoying to see the best players move to the bigger clubs with regularity, but that´s just the way it is these days. When we (Kaiserslautern) had a decent team 15-25 years ago, we had players come to our team from Sweden, Czechoslovakia and stay here for 10 years. Today? Guys come through their clubs´youth teams @the biggest clubs (like Götze @Dortmund) and move to Bayern when they´re 21 years old. Of course, it´s Bayern (you can win everything, you can earn everything, you maybe get a better player, etc.), but 20 years ago? You would have stayed @your team until you retired and said that you don´t like Bayern and may won one DFB cup (play 15 years @Dortmund, earn little less money, build a contender to Bayern and be a hero in Dortmund could be nice, too, i thought, but today, you pick the easy way and move to Bayern). That is what i don´t like about todays Bundesliga, but i guess that is the same situation in LaLiga, too.
I think that has a lot to do with teams not having that much money/lower budgets, so best players move to big-budget teams. Reus moved from Gladbach to Dortmund. Bayern could be next, we´ll see. In the Premier League, you have more teams with financial flexibility (teams like Tottenham, Everton), that could pay some big bucks and keep such players.
Another thing i really like about the Bundesliga in contrast to the Premier League is that it produces much more home-grown talent through the youth centres that each team has to build. Those are the base for the clubs, of course, but they are basically the groundwork for the german national team, too. The spending and many international superstars at the biggest clubs in the Premier League is one of the reasons why the english national team is so bad in the last ten (or so) years. Bayern is always trying actively to get german national team players to their club. Hoeness said some times they wanted to be the "FC Deutschland".
It will be interesting to see how teams like Wolfsburg and Leipzig(2nd Bundesliga) will perform in the next 5-10 years, considering they will get the most money from the normal teams in Germany, with heavy sponsoring through Volkswagen and Red Bull pushing them to the top. I don´t know how much you can compare them to british teams owned by the Abramovics of the world, but there´s a big debate going on in german media about the battle between those sponsored teams and traditional clubs (clubs like Frankfurt, Nürnberg, Kaiserslautern, etc., the average club) and what will be better for the future of german football and what kind of limits there will be. (-->still no comparing to Chelsea, ManU, etc.).
