aptitude and apt have different resolvers. At some point in time aptitude's resolver has been considered superior, especially for upgrades between releases, but apt has improved in the meantime and it seems to be more... predictable. Specifically for sid I prefer aptitude in interactive mode (it's open all the time here in a screen session), because of the interactive resolver, the nice preview which you can interact with and the 'forbid-version' action (Shift-f in interactive mode). Also aptitude's search patterns are, as far as I can tell, unmatched in any of the other package managers.
