One other thing to take into account between the two is encryption.   
Valentina allows you to encrypt your data structure and/or your  
data.  You can roll your own encryption for data in SQLite (though I  
haven't tested speed) but I haven't come across anything that allows  
you to encrypt the structure.  This is important for some projects.
