Here is what I mostly like (you have a comparison table here 
http://www.lama.univ-savoie.fr/~raffalli/ocaml-parsing.html:

dypgen :

- GLR instead of LR(1) : this gives much more elegant description of the 
grammar (and the possibiliy of ambigous grammar) and there
is never a conflict. These are replaced by multiple parse trees (you can 
choose a merge function that will report that as an error, if you think
your grammar should not be ambiguous).

- pattern matching in rule. Example: you define a grammar for list of 
expressions of any-size, but you can restrict the usage
to list of length at least 1, 2, ... by pattern matching)

- late reject of a rule by raising an exception.

- self extensible lexer and parser with delimited scope.

menhir :

- should be faster because it is only LR(1), but I did not test

- you know for sure that your grammer is not ambiguous ...
