I have to say, at first blush I would not choose click over argparse. I do have to look up the docs of argparse every time I use it, but I like that it's just gives me the args and lets me structure the program flow how I want to, which I think is more natural.
And then I can do things like import a big package (pandas) only after parsing the args, which is highly convenient to users that want to check the argument options without a five second lag.
