Long story short, both have their merits and it's down to personal taste.

I agree both have their merits
And both are similar, which is not surprising in that UP lifts the content from other mods and mod packs like HSFX and repackages it to include it into their mod pack
Hence the name
Ultra in the title UltraPack, as in taking mods from all other mods and mod pack and putting them into one mod pack.
A real kitchen sink approach to mod packs, that, based on the multi page bug report at the UP forums may not be such a good idea?
And since UP takes from all others, there is not a lot of original UP content in UP, for example UP even went as far as to lift the name HSFX used for Aaken's mods, i.e. EXPERT MODE, which can be seen in the UP switcher below
Which is not to say UP implemented/used Aaken's flight models! They just lifted the name which will surly be a source of confusion among the users who might think UP has an professional aircraft design engineer with a Ph.D. and is currently working in that capacity creating their flight models, which is not the case at all.
In the end, as you noted, the decision comes down to personal taste.
But hopefully an informed decision!
Both mod packs will allow you to mod the game, but only HSFX will allow you to join stock 1C/TD servers running 4.10.1
The choice is clear for me when you consider the fact that most servers in HL are stock 1C/TD servers running 4.10.1, but 'allow mods'
Because I have to have 6DOF! And I like the option to fly in a stock 1C/TD server or a HSFX server
But that is just my personal preference
Problem for UP 3.0 is, I think a lot of people have the same personal preference
