IMO: Rift has way better controllers, but head-tracking and room-scale is so much better in Vive-land. Edge for me goes to the Vive, but you can make an argument for either.

Valve's new Knuckles controllers look very promising and will offer far better hand presence than the Touch controllers.

True! I'm excited to see them, but I haven't spent time with them so can't really rely on them with a recommendation. Right now, the Vive controllers are a step back.

I'm a dev that's used the knuckles controllers. You're in for a treat.

Valve has been showing off new controllers [1] which look really neat, but also points to the more open ecosystem of something like the Vive over Oculus' seemingly more closed platform.
