I've used both, each for a long stretch of time; they are fundamentally extremely similar and you'll be fine with either. I switched to AdGuard Home entirely because I could run it directly from my OPNSense router instead of a second machine. There isn't really anything else major I've noticed different between them, but my usage is fairly basic. AdGuard's interface felt a bit more mature and clean, but that's it.
If you're happy with your PiHole, there's no reason I'm aware of to switch.
This guy is right.
I have used Pi-hole forever at home, but decided to try out AGH on my parents’ network. They do largely the same stuff, so if Pi-hole is working for you, stick with it; I do with my home network, too!
