That I cannot answer. It comes down to a matter of taste as much as anything. Personally I favor MacPorts, as I get the feeling it is better maintained than fink, but as I've never used Fink, I cannot really comment to much on it.

One thing I do know is it is not recommended to have both, as they have a tendency to interfere badly with each other.
