There was a really good article on this not too long ago on SA. I'm sorry but I can't seem to find it right now.
The gist of it was that ETF's have the advantage of being able to sell/buy when YOU want to rather than the close of business.
ETF's are better for stocks, mutual funds better for bond assets. All had to do with the managers maintaining sufficient liquidity...
Anyway, I recently ran into this pretty good comparison tool at FINRA. Allows you to side by side compare up to 3 funds/ETFs at a time.

Try it for DVY vs VYM.....
