Digium cards have a shorter warranty.  Digium cards have a history of 
motherboard compatibility issues.  Digium cards have a history of being 
much more sensitive to interrupt latency issues.

Sangoma cards are complicated to set up, have a history of kernel (and 
zaptel) VERSION issues.  i.e. It seems like the zaptel or kernel version 
I'm running on a machine is always something newer than is supported by 
the Sangoma drivers.  Never had any issues once I got it compiled.

For MOST people there really isn't much practical difference between the 
cards.
