Which would you choose for making bread dough?
Please tell me the pros and cons of either machine for making dough.

I've never made dough in a food processor, but I have used a stand mixer. It seems to work fine, and I like the fact you can just walk away and let it do its thing. Same with a bread machine.
Having said that, although I make bread a couple of times a week, I very rarely use the stand mixer to do so. I find manually kneading bread to be oddly therapeutic and relaxing.
I love kneading bread dough with my two hands. I can go off into another land with my thoughts. Or sometimes I sing. I think that you have to have the feel of the dough. Your hands just tell you when the dough is ready.
