I'm trying to answer that question right now and have read every review or comparison of either I can find on this sub. Here is my take:

It is entirely up to your personal preference and situation.

For all major features, both are equally functional. Both have demos, so use both of them and find out. Tandoor's UI felt more clunky to me, and I can't get it to display a recipe with ingredients on a single screen, so I'm going with Mealie. Other people like Tandoor's more granular ingredients/instruction organization.

Same here. I wanted a simple view more like a recipe book and Mealie hits that right out of the park. I am running the omni-nightly in docker though which had an update 2 months ago vs the 2 years for the normal latest.
