I think the real benefits of one over the other are probably too miniscule to truly make a difference. You'd probably be better off looking at other factors, like availability. Dvorak has the slight edge here if you will be on other people's computers, but if you are primarily on your own and know that you won't have any trouble installing layouts on other machines you come across then you might not care.
I primarily run Linux on my own machines, so there's absolutely no problem there (both Dvorak and Colemak are well-supported in most free and open source operating systems without the need to install anything). However, I took into account that I may need to be on a system that is not my own at some point or from time to time, so to avoid the trouble I chose Dvorak. Even among Linux distributions and the BSDs, Colemak is not 100% guaranteed to be available; I know it is not in Finnix, and as far as I know it was refused by the OpenBSD guys (basically Theo, being an ass as usual). Newer Apple Mac OS X releases apparently support Colemak as well.
If you can't decide based on platform availability (ie. an even split), then just type on both of them for a bit and note how they feel. Decide based on that. If you still can't decide after that, then damn it, just pick one! :P
But seriously, I don't think you can go wrong either way. They're both miles ahead of QWERTY.
