I'm paying for GitHub (lowest level) but use Gitlab a lot more these days.
I like GitHub's UI a lot more, but the University I work at uses Gitlab CE, so I've gotten used to it. Their permissions setup is particularly frustrating for me, on .com. I want a single option to make a repo completely public and there isn't one.
Gitlab's CI service is fantastic, and the reason I've jumped on board, since now I host all my sites on it, after moving to Hugo and Jekyll.
However, GitHub seems to have better uptime.
I don't think you can go wrong either way, and you may not even need to pay given what Gitlab gives away for free.
