From a top-level, the biggest difference is the fact that Vyper is focused on security and doing its best to protect developers' code from being exploited. It has the advantage of having seen Solidity go through various stages of development and is being designed around Solidity's experiences. Vyper is built with security, language and compiler simplicity, and auditability in mind.
Additionally, Vyper's syntax is much easier to follow, as it is a Python-like syntax.
This is up to the developer. Functionally, they both do the same thing (interact with the EVM). If the contract is simple, I would say Vyper should be used, as there is less room for error. There are times, where Vyper may simply not work, such as if you need to write low-level assembly to manipulate the EVM.
From Vyper's Github page, a few of the items that Vyper has removed for simplicity:
