Typically, these two are used best with one another.

Apples and Oranges. OpenSER is more of a proxy/router and FreeSWITCH 
is... well.... a switch. OpenSER is definitely better at dealing with 
broken devices (i.e. most linksys phones/ATAs on the market) behind nat. 
You might consider using OpenSER as a registrar/proxy and using 
FreeSWITCH to do the call accounting and routing to/from carriers.

If you must use only one or the other... Look at who you will be 
primarily interfacing with. (i.e. end users behind nat or carriers and 
wholesalers)

Concerning configs, FreeSWITCH uses XML configs while OpenSER uses a 
very C-like scripting language. I guess which is easier depends on your 
background.

Both FreeSWITCH and OpenSER are extremely scalable, but IMHO should be 
used for totally different reasons.
