The only thing I can say to you is read up on both units or even better if you know anyone who was in either of them chat to them.
The two things you should focus on are:
How they operate ie; what's their training like, what operations do they specialise in, what tours have they been doing in recent times etc.... this will give you a feel of what you would be doing in the future if you joined up and will help you decide which kind of things you'd rather be doing.
Secondly you should read up on their Battle Honours; this is the best way to understand the character of a regiment and what is expected from the men who make up the battalions. They are also what defined each regiment and made them what they are today.
The Battle Honours of the Paras will have you on the edge of your seat the sacrifices and courage by the paratroopers involved is unbelievable. That's what captured my imagination.
There's not whole lot of difference between them, just the way they operate, so it's basically down to personal choice so don't be swayed by other peoples opinions.
This really is something YOU need to decide for yourself as you'll be asked to sweat, bleed and maybe even lay your life down for the regiment you choose so you'd better have chosen the right one.
Hope this helps and good luck to you whatever unit you choose.

Scuse me last post. Was on the sauce 
Alfa is right. Personal preference is what its about, but when the shit hits the fan you still stand side by side
