Have you preferred Nix or Guix (specifically in writing the configuration/managing the system)?

They are both quite different as its an internal DSL vs an external one. Just give them a try.

A major difference at the minute might be package availability. Nix has more packages but some are broken, e.g. Julia. Guix has very clean and reproducible packages, and a slightly better CLI interface.
