Apply to both. Chances are, the adcoms will make your decision easier.

Princeton seems to be a bit stronger in math, based on department rankings (USNWR, NRC), number of alumni-earned math/stat PhDs, and Putnam prizes. I suppose that could change with just a couple of retirements (or new hires), or overridden by your own choice of classes.
