It's not really 1 vs the other IMO. I use flexbox within grid quite often, for example. They're two different tools with some overlap...
Grid is absurdly more powerful for full-page layout than flexbox (which is amazing for individual columns or rows). Especially once we start getting subgrid. The common comparison is 1 dimensional (flex) vs 2 dimensional (grid) layout.

wish I could use grid yet, I'm still supporting ie11 and safari 9 (i know ie has a janky grid prototype, I would maybe even put up with that if safari worked as well)
