What Advantages Does Sponge Have Over Spigot?

I’ve been waiting for Sponge to release for awhile now, and it seems as though the time is nearing. I’ve done quite a bit of research and have learned that Spigot already has support for old Bukkit plugins, something that Sponge lacks. I was wondering what the advantages are that Sponge has and Spigot doesn’t? Which API should I use for my server? Thanks in advance.
