I think the most important criteria are

  • the purpose of your simulator (do you need contact physics? how complex are your models? )

  • your fluency in both solutions

  • the size and quality of the documentation/community

  • is the code you are going to write for the simulator re-usable for real system ?

  • what is the licencing policy of the simulator (and its price)

In general there is no magic simulator, each comes with its drawbacks and plus. So the choice of a simulator is a compromise between your needs and the solutions available on the market.
