They're both similar. Qtractor is probably better if you need an  
integrated MIDI recording solution and don't want to take the risk of  
running alpha software (until Ardour3 is released).
I'd imagine Ardour being stronger in the sound editing department, though.

Since it's free and probably in a package manager near you why not  
install it and see for yourself.
