What will the user be expected to do with it?

If cost were the only issue, Android would no doubt be the better choice 
by virtue of its vastly more diverse hardware ecosystem.

But again, it boils down to what the user is expected to do with it. 
For infrequent lightweight tasks it probably doesn't matter much, but if 
the user will be using the device a lot it may matter whether they 
already have deep experience with iOS or Android.  The two OSes are 
different enough that I see users of each stumble and become frustrated 
when they try to use the other.
