Which should you pick?

Replit offers the larger headline amount (Up to $25,000 credits (Select Partner-backed) or 1 free year of Replit Pro versus $10,000 in GitHub credits for up to 12 months). GitHub accepts a wider range of funding stages, while Replit is more targeted. If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
