You mean between hylafax and mgetty+sendfax? ("sendfax" is also a 
hylafax command, so "sendfax vs hylafax" is pretty ambiguous).

There are substantial licensing differences (which probably don't matter 
to you for personal use); also, HylaFAX is more featureful and comes 
with configuration files that work around firmware bugs in a wide 
variety of modems. I started out playing with mgetty+sendfax myself, and 
it was one of these firmware bugs (which HylaFAX is capable of working 
around) along with the licensing issues that convinced me to switch.
