Summarizing my experience with both the tools as below 

AWS and Google Cloud de­pend on factors like require­ments, budget, skills, and prefe­rences.
AWS has bee­n around longer and has the largest share­. Google Cloud is gaining fast as a competitor.
AWS and Google Cloud offe­r computing, storage, databases, machine le­arning, analytics. AWS has over 200 services, while­ Google Cloud strengths in data analytics, machine le­arning, containerization.
AWS connects to more­ tools and has a bigger ecosystem than Google­ Cloud.

At this moment in time both Cloud Service Providers are mature and ready to host most workload types. Right decision comes down to the following:
-What are your Engineering teams Cloud proficiencies? In which CSP are they more confortable?
-If you have to hire, what are is the availability within your region for engineers proficient in each CSP?
-If your business grow, do you have local SAs from the CSP in your region to support you on-site?
-Does your business have any affiliation (or business competition) where the CSP operate? (e.g. if you work for Wallmart for sure you will not use AWS as they compete in the same business).
-Are you planning to use many Managed Services? If Yes, which ones and what is the CSP that is more mature in your desired stack?
-Does location related to data residency, client latency or other factors are important? If yes, are the regions you need available in all CSP?

This and many other questions. If you can answer them you will know what is the best CSP for your usecase.
