If I were to go electronic, I would go with Shimano Di2. I have heard too many stories of broken battery tabs on SRAM eTap.

If I were to go mechanical, I would go with SRAM as I am sick of how often Shimano shifters eat cables. I now have SRAM Force 22 on my road bike.
the cable eating shifters from shimano were and are the 7900,9000 and 9100 series regarding mechanical shifters . But always value good cables when installing those
