IMO, they both have pros/cons.  I think comparisions for use should be
evaluated based on the goals & type of data being searched.  We are
using both here @ GameSpot.com with good success. 

We are specifically using SOLR (http://lucene.apa...) in our
environment, and found that it works better for product based searches.
The facet search functionality is very useful & easy to setup.

Sphinx works better for full-text searching of our forums.  With Sphinx,
I *really* like the way you can connect directly to a MySQL database to
do indexing.  I also like how easy it is to do a delta index.  I would
definitely not want to use Sphinx for a product title search.

Just my 2-cents.

Such a question might get more traction on a mysql group. :)
