In my experience, the "but" is more common.

Personally, I only use the "than" for comparison: "No one loves you more than I/me."

Google disagrees with me big time!

"no one else than me" 563,000
"no one else but me" 18,100
"no one other than me" 561,000

"no one more than I" 97,700,000 (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
