I like harder/ underplayed champs. I choose Brand because I feel like there's more reward. I still don't quite have him down after a couple games- unlike annie, where my training was pretty much done as soon as I bought her. I mean, the hardest things to do as annie are positioning and making sure you last hit...
I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.
Personally, I prefer Annie. I like her and can usually do well, while I'm complete garbage with Brand.
Some things to add to the list perhaps:
-Annie has longer autoattack range
-Brand has a faster autoattack projectile
-Annie is a better last-hitter (free Q spell)
-Brand is a better farmer (W and E clears waves nicely mid-late game)
-Annie has a defensive spell ( Molten Shield)

I do notice brand has a much more responsive AA, and I like that for farming. I haven't seen you in a while, psiguard. I also really like brand in a 2v1 lane: I tend to kick *** at last hitting with him. Annie just seems too easy to me. I don't like that. I like a challenge.

both champs are pretty much on the same powerlvl imo
but i would pick brand every time just because you will win your lane and theres almost nothing the enemy can do about that! wich isnt nearly as often the case with annie
if fed bot casters can carrie a team on their back.
annie has moar burst on a single target but brands aoe is stronger due to his ult
furthermore brand has a real reliable stun wich u dont have to charge first
hitting e-q should always be possible in defensive situations and in offensive ones that combos range is way higher then any of annies abilities.

I feel they're on the same power lvl too. I didn't play as Brand but I'm an Annie player, and I played against both of them.
Solo mid Annie vs Brand is one of the most intense fights for me, if Brand is good I need to be extra careful with moving and attacking. Who get 1st kill on his opponent wins the lane and will be ahead.

Brand is better. While he does take more skill, Brand will definitely beat the annie player in lane if he is a good enough player. Pillar is really easy to land if you are smart about it. Right when your lane opponent goes to last hit, pillar right on top of him for free damage. Because of Brand's massive range, he can just pillar annie all day long and take 0 damage in return.
Late game, both are about equal. Brand has more raw damage than annie, however annie has her tibbers stun which can demoralize teams. Brand's skills are a lot harder to land in teamfights, however if you do land them, you are going to be a gamebreaker and win that teamfight on your own.
I give the slight nod to Brand for the stronger early game, however lategame they are pretty close.

Pretty much all been said above.
Only thing I'd note is that Brand only has a single target stun, whereas Annie can stun multiple targets if she's clever about it. Of course, Annie has a little less damage to compensate for that, but it's something to consider.
Imo it's all about the team comp. If you already have an AoE stun or something like Amumu, I'd go with Brand, if not, Annie.

Brand is just one huge nuke; having less utility, but a much bigger presence in teamfights. He has good farming once I get my catalyst the protector but has a single target skillshot based stun.
Annie has good utility for a caster, a reliable stun, and great farm. She can catch about 3 people in her stun. Annie is more oriented towards killing one person, but there's very, very little that can stop her from doing that.
Brand- Longer stun
Annie- More reliable stun
Brand- Can nuke more people, and thus has better presence in teamfights
Annie- Much, much easier
Brand- Good Dot passive that gives bonuses
Annie- Good Dot pet
Brand- Badass
Annie- Pedobear jokes
I like Brand more ATM, but I play both. I was told to "graduate to Brand" earlier. I seem to have better games as Annie, but more fun as Brand, while still having good games.
EDIT: Annie has better AP ratios
