As a general rule, SBC has less expensive flights, while Winair has more frequent flights. I've always had the impression that SBC offered a higher level of service to SBH clients, which is their primary focus, while Winair was less SBH-focused due to their multiple destinations out of SXM. Winair also has a codeshare with Air France/KLM, and I've wondered what would happen in a last-flight-of-the-day oversold situation - Which passenger gets bumped, the codeshare or the non-codeshare?
I always use SBC. However one thing to be really careful of -- due to some quirk in how they are set up at SXM, they cannot accept passengers with an origin of SXM, only through transfers.
What this means in practice is if you somehow arrive after the last flight and end up spending the night they will rebook you, but only out of Grand Case airport. Don't even bother arguing with them, they simply can't take SXM origin passengers which is what you are if you spend the night. So it's a taxi ride to the other airport.

Saint Barth Commuter would be our choice. You didn’t ask but going through SJU is our preferred route.

Autonomous flying taxis, being tested for certification in New Zealand, will be well suited for the SXM-SBH run...
Boeing and Airbus are among the companies working toward self-piloted flight on small and large scales. The first steps may be single pilot cargo then commercial flights while people have time to learn to trust AI.

The day airplanes will fly pilotless into SBH is the day I will stop flying to SBH.
