The thing to remember is that they are tools and the experience depends on the teams and mentors that the students work with. Both are great and provide lots of fun learning opportunities.
You have to look at your area and which can provide your students with the best experience. Here in Indiana VEX is big and there is little FTC activity so VEX is the way to go here.
To put a plug in for VEX I will say that the international experience at the VEX World Championship is amazing.

We're from Virginia and have competed in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware in FTC using both Tetrix and Vex systems. In VA, FTC is very popular with over 60 teams. In Maryland both FTC and VRC are popular. At the state level FTC has been a fantastic experience with incredibly caring and dedicated volunteers.
Could you tell us more about the VEX World Championship experience?
Thanks,
