One is a natural material, one is man made. I personally like the beauty that is inherent in the natural stone with granite. No two slabs are ever the same. Something that is not possible with any man made mass produced product. Both are great products and it is more a personal choice then anything else.To me quartz is pretty, nice to look at, granite is beautiful. Might be slightly more care, however with the granite wipes out today, still very easy to care for.
And the radon issue is not an issue. Radon problem occur where you have huge 100's of feet thick granite ledges under ground and the radio active content in them seeps out and up as a gas. Takes 1000's of years and has only been known as an issue for about 50 years. Does a 1 inch thick slab of granite have radon? Probably yes. Can you measure it? No. If a home has a radon problem it occurs because of where the home sits, not because you have granite in your kitchen.
