Not going to give my opinion on them as its virtually impossible to tell how good a keeper us after watching just 1-2 tests but Saha is definitely considered a better glovesman than Ojha among Indian experts.

They're pretty different. Ojha's the better pick if he has to bat six (or seven below Binny - same thing) but Saha would offer more value if six batsmen were selected because he's the better gloveman and more likely to dig in and form a partnership even if he's less likely to downhill ski his way to Test tons.

Why do you think Ojha is a better no. 6? He maybe having a purple patch with the bat, but I don't see anything to conclude Ojha will be a better batsman than Saha for the next 4 years. Saha is a fighter with the bat, has similar FC stats to Ojha. He has 2 distinct gears - can put a price to his wicket when needed and can take the attack to the opposition when needed (while in some confusion between those 2 gears, Adelaide happens rarely). And the way Ojha got out twice in the test shouldn't help him either (except in the #intent quotient).

They keep Nohit in the side for the very same reason over Che... Y do you think it will be applied differently when it is between Naman and The Saha?

Ya that's the reason I said "shouldn't" and not "won't" ;)

Yeah, I am not very comfortable with the look of Ojha's batting but he averages higher and will be persisted with I am thinking. I prefer Dinesh Karthik who averages just two points lower and who can bat fine but doesn't look like he is getting called up right now.
