There are plenty of comparisons if one enters "apparmor vs selinux" in a
google search.

Then you can decide for yourself.

Some people will point out that AppArmor comes from the Novell folks and
is already integrated with openSUSE.  They would also remind folks of
the collaboration between Novell and Microsoft. 

So, when reading the various comparisons make sure you know which bias
may be in play.
