Someone more knowledgeable than me will likely join in soon, but depending on your application one op amp might be better than another because of

• higher slew rate (which affects max frequency)

• higher unity gain bandwidth (if you need to amplify a wide range on frequencies)

• better common mode rejection ratio (for working with small signals and electrically noisy environments)

• lower input bias current (for low- power applications)

• higher input/ lower output impedance (to not load sensitive instruments/ distort signals)

And probably loads of other things… cost… thermal…
