I don't think there's a good answer, they're equal but different. Sort of like asking which is better a Toyota or Honda. hamburger or hotdog. It boils down to personal preference.

One way to differentiate is to visit the sites and forums maintained by the developers to get a feel for how responsive they are, how do forum users feel about the software? How often are the software packages updated for free and for pay?
