If you haven't already, check the channel line-ups for both; there are only minor differences but if there's a specific channel you need/like, that might made the decision easier.
We've had both providers and prefer DirecTV. Their Genie receiver can record 5 shows at once, which can be helpful when the dratted networks insist on running their shows 1 minute past the hour. I don't use them but they've added some options for additional full-house coverage. I also like the remote and onscreen guide for DirecTV better, but that's just personal preference. They bundle with Centurylink for a small monthly price reduction. Dish may do the same.
For as much as it's been raining lately, the signal rarely gets interrupted, and then only when it's really pouring. We have the dish on the roof.
Of course, I'd almost say not to go with DirecTV just because of their incessant marionette commercials ...
