I guess that would depend on how you wanted the Job done, the Morag Tong are obligated to announce their kills to remove any doubt of it being a legal transaction since their operations are sanctioned by the Empire, where as the Dark-Brotherhood are not restrained by the law (to the point where the Emperor himself realizes that if the darkbrother hood wants him dead, he will be dead.)

So say if you wanted to kill somebody in secret and without any questions, like a high ranking political figure then the DB would be the better choice because nobody would know how/why/who killed the target unless you specify. However the Morag Tong would excel at making a statement not only because of their legal obligation, but because of the fact their reputation isn't as seedy the 'employer' could theoretically use them as the legal way to kill a bully and become a hero.

As far as fighting goes indeed the Morag Tong would are seen as a more Warrior-Assasin having the Valor/honor while retaining the stealthy shadowlooks. Where as the DB are like the much more seedy shadowy assasins. You could even argue that Sithis (the Patron deity of the Darkbrotherhood) is more Powerful than Mephala (The Patron Deity of Morong Tong) being the embodiement of death.
