The VOCALOID engine can have realistic sounds or more unrealistic ones, whereas UTAU produces more unrealistic sounds only, and it is hard to get sounds that sound more human-like. Since there are many UTAUs, there are many different types of voices, while there are much less VOCALOIDs as compared to UTAUs. UTAU is completely free but I've heard it is harder to use for some, where VOCALOIDs sell for a couple of hundred dollars, but is a more professional software. UTAUs singing in English... I can't really say much about this since I don't believe I've heard one sing in English before. To me, UTAU's sound more unnatural than VOCALOIDs, but with VOCALOIDs, some of them sound closer to a human's voice. I think both have advantages and disadvantages, so I listen to both.
