What Device You Use
Pocket Edition also called Bedrock is for mobile devices tablets and even consoles. Java Edition is only for PC and laptops. So first it depends where you play the game. If you got a phone or tablet go for Pocket. If you love gaming on PC then Java is your choice.
Graphics and Performance
Java Edition has more powerful graphics and bigger worlds. It looks better but needs a strong PC to run smooth. Pocket Edition works well on low end phones and gives smooth performance even if the graphics are a bit simple.
Mods and Custom Stuff
If you like to add mods skins shaders or create crazy things then Java is way better. It supports almost all kinds of mods. Pocket Edition supports some mods too but not as much freedom as Java.
Multiplayer and Crossplay
Pocket Edition lets you play with friends across devices like Xbox or Switch. Thats a big plus. Java only works with other Java players. So for crossplay fun Pocket is the winner.
Final Choice
Wanna play anywhere anytime then Pocket Edition is perfect. But if you want deep modding and full control then go for Java. Both versions are great it all depends on how you want to play Minecraft.
