As others have said, it's up to your personal opinion. Aside from version exclusives and the legendary, there is likely to be no distinction between game versions and they should both play fine. But I was having a hard time with this decision as well so I will offer you my perspective:
I notice that most of the games have a warm and a cool version. Warm versions of the games were Red, Gold, Ruby, Fire Red, Pearl, Heart Gold, Y, and Omega Ruby. On the other hand, Blue, Silver, Saphire, Leaf Green, Diamond, Soul Silver, X, and Alpha Saphire were the cool versions. With that in mind, Sun is the warm version, Moon is the cool verson. Personally as a kid I preferred the cool colored ones. As an adult, I picked up Y and Omega Ruby, only for the sake of the legendaries. So deciding between Sun and Moon is a little tricky, you may consider whether you prefer the warm vs the cool, and you have to pick your legendary. Solgaleo has a more traditional Pokemon design while Lunala is a bit different than almost any other Pokemon out there. Solgaleo is a Psychic Steel type, so he's actually weak to Fire attacks. Lunala is a Psychic Ghost type, so she's actually weak to Dark attacks. It seems counter to what many players anticipated but it's an interesting facet nonetheless. Lots of players will go with Sun due to the familiarity of its mascot. Some of my friends are going with Moon because Lunala has an ingenuitive design. Ultimately it's up to you to decide.
Personally, I preordered Pokemon Sun, and I'm already doubting my decision. Don't make up your mind just yet, simply because you really don't have to. If you were forced to choose one or the other, your first instinct is probably the right choice.
