Guys, if any of you have ever used one of these engines, tell me, which one can you advise?
What negative and positive sides they have?

magento for more complex sites, presta for simpler shops

Magento is powerful, but a bit of a bugger to work with, steep learning curve.

It depends on your goals, start from presta I think

Depends on what you're doing

If you aren't a developer yourself, expect to pay up to 70k for a custom magento site

If you don't need something that powerful, go with something like opencart/woocommerce/shopify etc

Magento is for rather large sites. If you plan on having less than 100 products I'd stay far away from it and go with WordPress + WooCommerce.

I concur. WordPress + WooCommerce can do wonders in the right hands.

I am planning to launch a little eshop where will be less than 100 products. But important moment. In future there will be another man who will add / delete content on site, images and etc. This man is not well with pc, internet, therefore the more easier engine I use the more easier to teach that man how to use admin panel and etc
