That depends on the application. If we are talking safety critical human space flight SLS would be preferable over SpaceX.

You’re picking Boeing for their safety record? Why is that?

Wait, you mean the SLS that could not bring astronauts back from the International Space Station? It's nine months in and they are still up there.

You're confusing things. The mission you are referring to was flown using the Boeing Starliner capsule, launched atop a Atlas V N22 rocket. Not the SLS or Orion.

Oops, that's Starliner. Still...It would be perhaps better for Boeing to get out of rockets entirely and focus on fixing their commercial airline business.
