basicly such questions mostly end in a flamewar.

But it depends why you want to chose

The biggest differences for a company will possibly ibe the company that gives support.
and how it runs on your platform you want to run it on.
and one other option you could use to select one is what special feature you want to to have what is only aviable in taste X.
