They seem roughly equivalent, neither better than the other. Particularly, both fail the same dehyphenations, a category of error that's extremely frustrating for text-to-speech users. By default tika seems more aggressive when joining split lines, but without good dehyphenation that's not worth much, and some of the lines it joins shouldn't be joined.
Calibre's is also several times faster, but the difference between 1 second and 7 seconds isn't really a big deal for my purposes.
