We bought multiple versions of both brands in multiple sizes and flavors.
This won't be a review, just a couple of quick impressions.
BTW, Gotaukulele.com has reviewed one example of each brand and Barry Maz does it well.

Donner pros;
1 1/2" nut! This is great for me.
Slot bridge.
The models we bought have side dots.
Decent quality.
Good sound for and economy instrument. I'd buy either at retail price.
Donner cons;
Usually needs some work on set up. Not a huge issue for me.
Strings are so-so.
Enyas pros;
All of ours had a good enough set up.
They can sometimes be had for cheap.
Good quality.
Good sound for and economy instrument.
Great gig bag!
Nut is 36mm, wider than our Kalas.
Enya cons;
Bridge that uses a though the body string tie. Not a big deal for me.
No side dots.
Strings are so-so.
Both ukuleles have abundant accessories, but are of low quality.
The exception is the Enya gig bag which is GREAT.
Specs on string spread width;

nut= 1.42" 1s fret= 1.10" 12th fret=1.37" bridge=1.64"
