I am not sure if you had seen comparisons like this [1] or not but it has some important points when comparing these two. But I would say it also depends on how you are gonna use the streams. For example, if like us, you are going to digest the streams using Spark I would say Spark's API is more mature with Kafka (unless you have switched to Spark 2.2 and higher).

If you're in AWS land you can use Kinesis firehose to S3, which is perfect for Spark. Way more straightforward than any Kafka solution.
