I don't think there is really a better solution between MDL for Seaside
and Bootstrap. Both have their advantages and for me the first reason to
chose one or the other is what you're comfortable with.

Bootstrap has a lost of plugins we can bind to Seaside. MDL for Seaside
now has widgets and extensions directly available with features such as
list dynamically loading with ajax and I would like to add more with time.

Personally I prefer MDL for two reasons.
- I prefer the design of Material Design to the one of Bootstrap
- More importantly, I hate the columns system of Bootstrap

Columns were a good JS feature because more flexible than tables and
helped to create responsive applications. Now CSS comes with the native
flex display and I find it much more flexible than columns.
(https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/) And now it's
supported by all the major browsers since some versions (except IE8 and
previous...).

So to answer your question I think it all depends on you and your project.

(I know I'm not really selling well what I'm working on but my main goal
is to help web developers here, not to convert them :) )
