One consideration is whether you will be working on your kit yourself, or paying a bikeshop to do it. SRAM kit is certainly a little fiddlier to work on, especially when it comes to replacing cables. I have been running a Dura-ace groupo for 5-6 years now and I seriously can't fault it. It's never let me down and is showing no signs of doing so any time soon. It is a personal thing though, and you really need to have a go on both before deciding.
Or just accept that they're both excellent and that you'll get used to whatever you buy.
