Which airport should you pick?
Start with the fare, then check what it includes: a low-cost fare into Don Mueang may not include a checked bag, and adding one can close the gap. The seller's page shows what you get.
Then think about where you're going. Don Mueang has a train into the city, the SRT Dark Red Line to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal; Suvarnabhumi has the Airport Rail Link.
Flying on from Bangkok? The two airports are an hour to an hour and a half apart by bus or train, so a cheap arrival at the wrong one can cost you the connection.
