It really depends on the use case.

The advantage you get with QGraphicsWebview is a few more optimization 
in the rendering stack.

With 4.7, the main advantage is accelerated compositing (in case you do 
transition, animation, or 3D transform).

With future version, you can expect more rendering advantage with 
GraphicsWebView, like WebGL.

On the other side, the performance of plugins tends to suck on 
QGraphicsWebView. If you rely on flash for video or interactive 
interface, QWebView is likely a better option.
