There are lots of reasons for going with one or the other.. but in my 
experience, it always comes down to the these two:

1. Gtk+ is C, Qt is C++
2. Gtk+ is free to use for commercial projects, Qt isn't

For instance, I tend to always gravitate towards C++ given a choice.  
I've done some Gtk+ programming over the years (mostly back in the day 
during my attempts at cross-desktop interoperability) and I've always 
found it extremely frustrating.  It's a PITA to do any kind of 
programming using Gtk+ while Qt makes it nearly trivial... to me.  I've 
run across scores of people that had the exact opposite reaction, 
though.  C is the only language to use while C++ just adds unnecessary 
cruft.  I haven't run across all that many people that have liked BOTH 
Gtk+ and Qt, though.

Really, both a very full-featured.  Get a few tutorials on programming 
for both and try them out yourselves.  I'd bet that you'd discover 
pretty quickly which one you preferred.
