One's an enhanced dread carrier of something you already have, needing a T5 or T6 bug ship on that toon to unlock its full potential, the other's a heavy escort with a hangar bay. I avoided the T5 JHDC cause of its slow turn rate and got the Narcine instead which comes with some of the best pets, which sadly was overshadowed almost instantly by T6 ships, but it is still good. Each ship comes with its own T6 starship trait, so that might help the decision process.
To me the T6 JHDC looks awesome both in its canon skin and new sleek skin, and it's one of few tactical dreadnought carriers in game (vonph and narcine being the other two off the top of my head).
Escorts with hangar bays are more abundant, and to me I'd rather have the extra tankiness of a destroyer, or crazy turn rate of a pure escort over a hangar bay, despite how much I like pets and carrier commands just for fun if nothing else.
