If your objective is to create a true KB, where source documents can be fed into the database whole and information can be extracted on the fly to fulfill search requests, I don't think either of these tools is going to do the job. If you have something more modest in mind (online help that searches data you import from source documents into a fixed content repository), then it's mostly a matter of which tool you feel the most comfortable using to generate web-based online help.
