When I was choosing between the two, I personally felt that both the block interval and coin generation schedule were better in BBR. But unfortunately all the other things were worse, with legitimacy on the top of the list.
Why only pick one, and not both? Since CryptoNote is very new, both coins have a chance to be the sector leader. BBR may get stuck being Pepsi to XMR's Coke, or become the dominant CN coin if there is an XMR catastrophe. Those are both winning outcomes.
BBR may be the next BetaMax (better tech killed by QWERTY effect) but that's why I only spent 10% as much on them.
But BBR isn't even the next BetaMax, what the hell are you talking about? This is so frustrating!
BBR's changes are only to make it separate from monero and to build a cult around zoidberg. BBR's changes are questionable at best, this is Litecoin all over again, the fact that people can't see this just shows how many idiots are in Crypto!
I get it, I used to be one of those idiots, and I lost a lot for it, but I feel that I am different now, losing hundreds of Bitcoin changes you, makes you research well and apply logic.
