Thanks! Have you tried both systems? I've never heard of hasura, so don't know the extent to which they compare. At a glance it looks like they serve largely the same problem.
We’re using Hasura. Not affiliated but we do pay for their support (great team to work with).
Hasura have taken a few unusual steps that actually turn out to be good choices. They have their own version of row level security that you configure via the admin console. It plays very nicely with their subscription queries so there’s very little load on the dB (they effectively poll the dB and build a temp table of the config Params of each connected client so they can pull back the data for every subscription in a single query). It works really well in practice.
We kicked the tyres on most the products in the space (and even had our own implementation using socket io). There were a couple of things about Hasura that didn’t seem to make sense but after a quick call with them we decided that between their answers, and the team themselves, it was the product we liked and trusted the most.
I have tried both, but only a bit and for a personal project. In the end I went with Hasura because I like the admin interface, and I think the way it maps graphQL to SQL makes for easier-to-read (and write) graphQL queries.
I actually tried PostgREST first, because I had never used GraphQL and was more familiar with RESTful APIs. But I would go straight to Hasura if I was starting today.
When you combine graphql was graphql-codegen you can get typechecked queries, which is really nice.

Highly recommended.
