HI Ben,
We've always seen BRC as being slightly "harder" or I should say more time needed to administer than SQF. There are some anomolies - but frankly few.
While the selection of a GFSI Scheme is most times based on customers we have found 100% of the time that a customer that wants BRC will gladly accept SQF and thus we stopped offering BRC consulting a while back.
We just had this come up with two new clients for developments, the customers wanted BRC and they decided to go with SQF and that was 100% fine with their respective customers.
Most times customers don't really know why they want one over another - all they really care about is their supplier gets GFSI certified.
All the Best,
