Matroska has support for chapters, in-file subtitles of different formats, 
multiple (multi-channel) [vorbis] audio tracks (with language identifiers) and 
has lower file-format overhead than ogg.
I heard that some of these features are also available with Ogg Skeleton, but 
I have not yet found a useable tool, that makes use of them. And I am above 
average user, I think.

I heard ogg is better for streaming, but I have seen neither streamed, so I 
can't tell. 

Note, that I am not complaining here, free media is important, thats why I am 
on this list ;-)
But if Matroska turns out to be better for movie-archiving (and I am not 
saying it is or has to be) one should think about recommending it.
