I didn't make a choice, when I looked to solve my problem tmux was the solution I found. Didn't discover screen until later, at which point I was comfortable with tmux.
Been using UNIX since the late 80s; Linux since the mid-90s; virtualization since the early 2000s and spent the past few years working in the cloud space.

Cool. I've been using screen since 1989. I'm always interested in new-to-me tools and know a lot of people use tmux, but haven't seen anyone post that "this is why you must switch" capability-note. Occasionally, I like to ask, in case the tmuxer in question has used both enough to be able to tell me "this is the differentiator that was key to me." =)
