Check the CS8900A datasheet as well -- both chips are comparable
(including interrupts and CRC generation).  They both were designed
for ISA-era NICs for PCs, FWIW.

The choice really comes down to a) price and b) example code.
The price is close enough in hobbyist terms to make it a toss-up,
and the availability of example code is probably similar as well.
