My impression at the time I chose it was, that unison is lots  
smarter. Unfortunately that was a few years back and I forgot all the  
details.

I'd look at the slides here "Benjamin C. Pierce. Unison: A file  
synchronizer and its specification"
(http://www.cis.upenn.edu/%7Ebcpierce/papers/index.shtml), to get an  
idea, why unison is likely to be a better choice than rsync.
