Apollo's using Redux is great. The model and API are well understood so it's easy to bring developers on board. Relay seems to follow the same principles, but does them in its own way.
Relay is also opinionated about your server's responses. I know that the cursor pattern with edges and nodes is great for performant pagination, but then our schema has to conform to that spec and I really don't enjoy spending time explaining why we can't just get that user's photos, we have to get that user's photos' edges' nodes. Graph theory has a place, but it's not that close to the frontend, IMO.
More than anything, it seemed very easy to get up and running with Apollo. After reading lots of Relay docs, it still took a lot of experimentation and effort to get this running to begin with. I am very happy with Apollo's docs.
While Apollo is easier to adopt and use, it's still under active development, so it's not as stable as Relay, and hasn't been optimized for performance the way that Relay has.
