There are technical and financial reasons for most frameworks. Frankly, I am not a fan of either framework you are choosing between and if I was choosing something new now I would probably heavily investigate Vue versus either of those.
I am also not a fan of SPA's or heavy client side rendering either. Personally, I prefer to see more server side rendering with additive client side functionality. There are exceptions of course.
No matter what, I'd still be weighing all the options based on the team makeup and product requirements, as picking any framework(s) or design before you know the requirements is usually not a good idea.
Here are some of the reasons I would give:
.) More choice for mobile development: Ionic & Nativescript. .) Easier to integrate new developers, all Angular projects look the same. .) Project backed by Google. .) Components closer to WebComponents framework, meaning designers can work on them concurrently vis-a-vis ugly JSX locked in your JS. .) No commercial risk from libraries such as MobX and other router libraries dependent on a single amateur developer.
