It honestly depends on what you're trying to achieve with your work. If you're trying to build something, then use Django. It'll save you time from having to learn about Ruby's community of tools and how Rails works. If your goal is to learn Ruby, then using Rails will be fine. Neither is better than the other and I've used both. It comes down to what you personally enjoy using better as they are both built to be generic tools to create a web application using a specific language. Don't get lost in the marketing hype of which is better - use the tool that allows you to solve your problem more efficiently (creating something vs. learning a new language and framework).
