I have both!
I think overall I’m finding myself liking Hunter more. This expansion compared to the previous really favours ranged classes in both raid and M+.

I’d recommend DK for the sole reason you have a tank spec you can switch to and use in Torghast if you are into solo’ing.
I mostly solo, so my choice would be hunter. On my DK, I am constantly getting killed and it gets annoying. The hunter has so many utility abilities that the only time I really die now, is when my lousy ISP disconnects me.
If melee is your thing, Veng DH is amazing, they just don’t die at all.
You can have a tank for Torghast as a Hunter too.

Hunters have far easier resource management than Death Knights do, unless you are Frost spec. Unholy can be a bit aggravating when Runic Corruption doesn’t proc off of Death Coil use, leaving you typically pretty regularly, several seconds without runes to spend. Frost spec, the RP builds up faster than you can spend it outside of Breath of Sindragosa (BoS).
For a Hunter, I find they’re pretty easy and straightforward. The 3 specs all play differently these days, and the Focus management is pretty easy. Might be some button bloat if you’re going to edge out the most of the effectiveness of a Hunter for whatever you’re going to be doing, but that would mostly include PvP. Otherwise, you should be fine with mostly just two actionbars (Pretty much the same for Death Knight, although both classes might leak in to a third bar a bit depending as well if you use different keybinds for different scenarios…)
As for what I would choose specifically for fun-factor having played both Hunter and DK…
Right now i’d probably choose DK for Unholy spec. It’s fun having a consistent army at my beckoned call.
On the low end it does seem that way. If you look at barbed shot as a resource for frenzy stacks (as you can’t have 100% uptime now) and aiming to effectively use cobra shot to reduce the cd of KC (it is sometimes better to not cast anything then to waste focus,) and wanting to pool energy then it becomes far more complicated.
I’ sure DK’s face a similar situation though.
