want to add accessories to rails? get the RAS. don't like the looks of the RAS and prefer the looks of the SD version? Then get that one. I don't think the decision gets any harder than that.

The SD version isn't silenced. It has a slightly different sound signature, but it's not that significant. For these two guns you're comparing, it comes down to looks...

They both have the same gearbox, and as long as you're comparing against the newer HG versions of the SD, they will perform exactly the same. It comes down to looks for these two guns and nobody here can decide for you what to get.

There's also the consideration that the sd5 has a full stock which allows you to put a larger battery in there... but a gun with a barrel this short typically wouldn't be used in outdoor play where heavier upgrades are sometimes used. Used in CQB, a mini battery on a lower velocity setup isn't really an issue at all, and as a result, could negate this difference. But again, it's up to you whether the battery capacity is an issue or not. A fully charged mini battery can power a stock gun for well over 1000 shots.
