It really depends on the country that you use it in and their regulatory laws.
In the US there are only 3 available channels in 2.4GHz. In 5GHz there are more than 12.
Here we find 2.4GHz crowded but useful for WiFi hotspots since most laptops have 2.4GHz built in but many do not have 5GHz.
If you look at the physics of the wave, 2.4GHz should travel a little farther and have better penetration since it is a lower frequency. But the difference is slight.
