If more come from one publisher than the other, then that may give you an answer for your particular research topic, but again you should pay far more attention to the journal than the publisher. To start on finding your own answer, you can look at the journals that publish papers you care about or consider related or comparable with yours. (And the issues and opportunities vary so much between people that there's no hope of compiling a comprehensive answer.) It's like asking "Would I be happier living in France or Germany?" Someone must have gathered statistics on average national levels of happiness, but individual circumstances and the particular opportunities available in each country are vastly more important for answering this question. Sure, some publishers are better than others on average, but differences between individual journals are overwhelmingly larger than systematic differences between publishers, so there's no way to give a remotely useful answer based solely on the publisher. The prestige of a journal and the exposure it will offer your ideas are not determined by the publisher. (All the medicine-related Elsevier journals I know about comply with this requirements, but it's best to check). Submission is to take place “upon acceptance,” and the article must be made available in the PubMed Central database within one year of publication." "all investigators funded by NIH submit an electronic copy of their final peer-reviewed manuscripts of articles that have been accepted for publication. One example is the NIH Public Access Policy, which requires that: There are also limiting factors to consider, it might be that your institution or your funding agency have requirements regarding the public archival of preprints. If you are in the biomedical sciences, the impact factor is a useful metric, although like everything, it's not perfect. Another clue is which journals publish the good papers you read and intend to cite.
You can also ask the scientific librarian(s) of your institution.
The best way to know which are the good journals in your field is to ask your colleagues in particular your adviser. As a result, even though both the company that you listed are reputable publishers, there are large variations of quality within their respective portfolios. The quality of the journal depends on other factors, mostly the editorial strategy which is the job of the editorial board, who are independent from the publisher. Elsevier and Springer are publishers, they have a portfolio of journals and are sometimes hired by professional or academic societies to provide publishing services. You need to understand that the quality of journals is not bijectively related to the company that publishes it.
