It depends on how you look at it and how you want things to be and each 
way/method has its advantages and dis-advantages -

With Trac the biggest advantage and dis-advantage is that you would need 
to know Trac in quite a bit of depth in case you want to upgrade.

Here we are able to upgrade bugzilla, Mediawiki when we want and even if 
one goes down for some unforseen reason, the other is there. If we have 
both in the same software then the software becomes a bit more critical 
in nature.

I am unable to access wikimatrix.org but that probably could be used to 
compare features of each.

Also, I worked on trac quite sometime back, at that time one of the 
issues that it had was that it used to block a page if a user was 
editing it, in mediawiki if you working on a section, another user can 
work on another section at the same time.

Again, it depends on POV (Point of View) that you have.

Another thing I haven't seen trac using multi-media much whereas 
mediawiki has support for all sorts of multimedia as well as languages 
as is evident by wikipedia itself.

Those were the reasons for me recommending mediawiki in the first place.
