I picked ps4 because I believe it is the better of the 2 (only marginally), but realistically your determining factors should be the following 2 things above all else. 1. Which system do your friends have? This is important because hypothetically if one of the gen 8 consoles were just a reskin of gen 7 and the other was what it is now and all your mates were on the reskin, you would probably get more enjoyment out of the reskin. 2. What exclusives do you prefer the look of? No point in getting a console and then being constantly let down because all the games you want to play are on the other console. I am sure through all these comments there are gonna be plenty of people saying "the controller is better on this console" or "this network is better than the other" and the like but just ignore all that because it is all uninformed nonsense and blind fanboyism. In the end you are gonna enjoy whatever console you get so pick the one you will get a little more enjoyment out of.
