I've never used QuickSilver myself, but I think Butler is more equivalent. LaunchBar is just an application launcher (or at least it was the last time I used it). While I admit that LaunchBar is probably the best such application launcher, Butler is perfectly good as an app launcher, and it does a whole lot of other things too. And it's free.

The only thing I miss about LaunchBar is the ability to drag files onto the app in the app-launching window, just like in the Dock. With Butler you can't do that, which makes using some drag-n-drop-only apps a bit harder to use.
