Apple Carplay for me. Always and forever. I hate android's operating system, needlessly complicated with confusing menu mapping. (In my opinion to each their own). I have an iphone and just ordered my new iphone 6s last week.

I would say more likely than not, most automakers are going to offer both AA and ACP in their vehicles so i don't see a car dictating phone choice or vice versa.

Considering that AA and Carplay blocks certain apps when in use i'd imagine the level of customization is about the same for both. They don't want to create more of a distraction for drivers (though they could make any customization a "in park" thing only)

Thats an intersting point actually...will it be possible to root your android car? Its one thing in your phone, but in a car where the systems are so codependent will they risk the contagion?
I severely doubt any of the infotainment systems on the market with AA and Carplay will have that level of customization/freedom. They keep the infotainment features locked down so people don't mess with them.
