Pick Bazel if…
Bazel suits software teams working with large codebases, multiple compiled languages, multiple target platforms or extensive test suites. It may also fit projects that want cached builds and basic CI failure signaling.
Pick Pants if…
Pants suits development teams working in its supported languages that need coordinated build tools, dependency inference, caching, or remote execution. Its lack of tight IDE integrations may matter to developers who want their editor to run Pants on their behalf.
