According to my observations FFmpeg has better security support, accepts enhancement requests faster and is strongly preferred by XBMC/Kodi upstream thus I vote for FFmpeg as being the one library we ship if we can ship only one.
I disagree with the question and I in my eyes both of the libraries should be allowed to enter testing. That would be fair handling of maintainers' and upstreams' work.
