Anubis takes more coins than anybody else on this list. BTC, LTC, ETH, and XMR. If you're paying in Ethereum on a Tor market this is roughly your only option. Use XMR for privacy, BTC for old vendors who haven't moved on yet, the others when they fit.
Mars publishes more live onions at any given moment than anybody else on this list. When the active mirror gets DDoSed you can just paste another from the signed list and keep going. For people who lost orders because a market went dark for two days during a flood, this matters.
If your priority is what Anubis Market is best at, «Best for multi-coin payments», pick Anubis Market. If your priority lines up with Mars Market, «Best for multi-mirror availability», pick Mars Market. Both are on this list because they clear the same five checkpoints, so the choice is about fit, not safety.
