DAT is run by influential hobbyists of independent means, with occasional funding from non-profit organisations.
IPFS is essentially run by a very well funded (300musd) private company.
For this reason alone I think DAT is the more likely to succeed. It seems hard to reconcile the longevity of a truly distributed protocol with the need of a private company to retain control.
