For personal projects I think App Engine is superior due to the included services like Mail API and Memcache API. There are also features like Firewall API that's lacking in Cloud Run right now. One downside of App Engine (due to its 10+years of history) is that one GCP project can only have one App Engine app in a single region, and you can't change the region after it's created. You can have arbitrary number of Cloud Run service in one GCP project, each can be in different region. It's also harder to take a Infrastructure-as-code approach on App Engine as there's no easy way to diff between the deployed version and the intent (in Cloud Run, you can use the container image hash for that purpose).
