I think it's mostly a matter of taste. Iirc Darktable offers more advanced options in regards to developing RAW files compared to RawTherapee. I moved from Lightroom directly to Darktable and I'm very happy with it. But maybe just try both and see what feels better to you.
They serve mostly the same purpose. RawTherapee IIRC has more file management functionality; I am more used to darktable, so can't get used to RT.
