They're harder, stronger and capable of being grown in a wider variety of climates than the fickle orange.

The problem with this question is that there are a number of subgroups, and different uses for both apples and oranges. Some oranges are for eating, others for juicing. Some apples are for devouring raw, others for baking into a pie. On the versatility angle, I think that apples have a bit of an edge, since you can use them in pies, or make them into cider. You can't make drinkable alcohol directly from oranges (though you can add orange to various liqueurs). On the other hand, you can make orange chicken or duck l'orange, so oranges may have savory uses that the apple can't touch.
For convenience, it's the apple. For cleanliness, it's the orange, which comes in its own wrapper.
I'm actually a bit torn, in case you couldn't tell. What say you, NSG?
And please, let's not get bananas, pears, or other fruits involved in this. This is a simple apples vs. oranges debate, and I see no need to muddy the waters with other choices.
