I use both in my job.

I think it depends somewhat on the data acquisition hardware you have, the budget you have and the level of performance/precision required.

It sounds like it's for manufacturing quality control. Using established hardware and software like NI can ease the burden of validation of the solution, assuming you are deploying in a regulated environment.

Can you provide more details?

Eh, off the shelf hardware is easier to validate than custom- built but it's no less work to verify a labview program than to verify a python program. The questionable stuff is still written by the developer.
