The sticking point for me was card expiry. Paypal consolidates my payments, so I don't have to chase around two dozen websites to update my card details every time my debit card is replaced. This issue has caused me to drop domain names in the past, so I have a strong preference for Paypal.
I only just learned that Stripe use some sort of voodoo to continue recurring payments after a card is replaced, which overcomes one of my main objections. If I were Stripe, I'd be shouting this from the rooftops.
