One would need to know under what circumstances in order to make that decision. For example if a program did not use DirectX as its graphic methodology then I would prefer OpenGL. If a program used both but had been optimized for one or the other then the optimal one would be my preference. The question is too opened ended to generate any definitive answer of merit.

OpenGL for compatibility. DirectX for graphics. It's like comparing a spoon and a fork.
One can be used in more situations, but the other is more suited to such situations and can handle a few more others. You can't use a spoon to pick up a steak like you would with a fork, but you can't eat soup with a fork either, now can you? |

Your question is too subjective. |
