Partly I answered in logistics.
I'm more often willing to wait for Hagrid's than I am to wait in the standby for Rise, nor am I willing to pay $20+ to ride it. I've been on Rise multiple times, but I tend to just skip it. Though sometimes I also skip Hagrid's if the wait is too long.

Rise is a better ride/experience but Hagrids is more fun

I'd argue Rise is 100% re-rideable, seeing as you get slightly different experiences in each of the two trackless vehicles that get dispatched together (in terms of the lift and corridor sequence in the AT-AT bay), though I know this admittedly isn't much. It's not a cocktail party style of ride like Pirates is, yet there's still so many new details to spot every ride-through. The drop at the end adds a little thrill to spice it up too.
Maybe it's just because I always prefer dark rides to a coaster (they've all been more memorable, unique, and interesting to me - Disney always does dark rides like no-one else worldwide, yet well-themed coasters are spread globally), but I do see how Hagrid's is an amazing attraction. I have my issues with the (IMO) poorly-hidden show building for the dark forest scene of the ride, and how it inexplicably becomes nighttime during that part of the attraction, but I'm a nitpicker so I think I might be over-reacting here. It's just that I see Rise as almost flawless.
Hagrid's is nonetheless super fun for it's bike seats, outdoor animatronics, large scale, and how it expanded the land and scope of IOA's Hogsmeade area in a really natural, sensible, and exciting way. That land is just truly perfect now, with the town, Hogwarts grounds, and Forbidden Forest. IMO we don't need any more Harry Potter anything, we've got everything we want already (and I'm saying this as of now, excluding Epic's opening, cuz I think the Paris land is a hot mess that nobody actually is excited for, it's only the ride people wanna see). Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm not a HP fan.

Hard choice because both are very well done. Rise has many elements that are impressive, particularly when working correctly, but honestly I find the experience drags at points, such as waiting to be sorted, waiting for the prison room show to start, waiting to board the car after being rescued. It is fun, but it's not as fun as Hagrid. From start to finish Hagrid has me laughing, yelling, and hanging on for dear life. Given a choice, I'd pick Hagrid.

I tend to isolate coasters as their own thing for this reason, I don’t really think they compare very easily. Hagrids certainly has me hootin’ and hollerin’ more than Rise but it’s not even close to my favorite coaster and I can’t in good conscience call it a better ride than Rise.

Hagrid's! It's my favorite roller coaster anywhere.
Rise is fun but Hagrid's has so much going on and it's truly an amazing ride.

Hagrid's is one of the most fun rides I have ever been on. Time and time again. Also when I ride, almost all of the effects are always working. Always.
Rise is a cool ride, plus a neat experience, but it is not the same kind of fun as Hagrid's. I would always pick Hagrid's over Rise. Additionally, Rise is rarely working at 100%. And the ride experience greatly suffers when it is less than.
I do not find myself waiting for Rise over a posted wait of 20mins, and I certainly do not pay $25 or more to ride. That payment would make the experience EVEN WORSE! Yes, I do find myself waiting for Hagrid's about 60 mins. It is just that great and enjoyable. For me!
