Well, as Lord Melbourne (?) said,
"I wish I were as certain about anything
as you are about everything."

My impression is that Macky people prefer TeXtures,
while Unix people are happier with OzTeX,
where they feel they have more control.

Incidentally, have you used both?
Very few people have, in my experience.
(I used TeXtures 3 or 4 years ago,
and was impressed,
but also annoyed that I could not use fonts
from elsewhere.
Has that changed?)
