According to a popularity survey by Ionic, 86% of web developers have used Ionic and 16% went for React Native. To build PWAs, 72% preferred Ionic while 21% picked React Native. On GitHub, Ionic has 41,000 stars and React Native has 89,100 stars.
As it utilizes a combination of Apache Cordova and Angular, Ionic for many developers, is the first choice for app development. It provides tools such as HTML5, CSS, SaaS, etc to develop top-notch hybrid mobile apps to be run on Windows, Android, and iOS.
First, before choosing any of these frameworks you need to know.
Ionic is based on Angular.js which is a very powerful framework for building SPA and Ionic uses Angular's Directives to make custom HTML tags.
But whereas Polymer is just a library that makes extensive use of Web Components(New set of standards developed by the W3C and is not implemented by all browsers and previous releases of Android).
Up until now Polymer has been only an experiment so it's not production ready to be used for deployment, but this could change soon after Polymer 0.8 is released.
After knowing some info about these frameworks, I would go for Ionic cause I know it is widely used by developers and is production ready, on the other hand if you wish to wait for Polymer 0.8 to be released(expected by March-2015,)it has it's own set of features that are worth waiting for.
