The blue is more striking. The purple blends into the black.

I suppose, in the end, it is all a matter of personal preference. Purple is a color that tends to bring me down, but I love anything turquoisy. So I say the blue.

Agreed. So it depends on which look you want.

To me, they are both great choices. I think it really depends on which of the two colors within the quilt you want to be more dominant. Each border really brings it's own color 'forward'. Is this for yourself? Do you have a specific place in mind for it? Which of those 2 colors work best with the location you plan to use the quilt? If it's a gift, does the recipient have a more definite favorite of the 2 colors? Those would be my deciding factors.

Purple is my favorite color--but for this quilt, I think the blue works better.
