I'd guess that it doesn't make a huge difference in terms of security.
Surely both apps encrypt the seeds they store, and surely you can't export seeds from Aegis before decrypting them (pin, password or biometric). If someone has your credentials (or encryption keys) to both these apps, and especially if they have physical access to your phone too, there will be ways of accessing the seeds whether there's an export function in the app or not.
