Are you sure they are aimed at the same target? As for maturity,
SELinux was announced in 2000, and was developed against the 2.2.12
kernel and Red Hat 6.1. As far as I can tell, the grsecurity domain was
only registered in October of 2001, and the LIDS domain registration is
rather dodgey but seems to have been created in January 2000. (I'm
always suspicious of domains with obviously false information, or at
least [being polite] gross errors in their registration data.)
