I want to buy a new phone (fast) but I am confused between Android and Windows.Is it better to buy a Windows phone because I also have a windows PC?

Since you have Windows PC, I'll put forward my answer in the context of Windows
user(Phone+PC).
          Microsoft now sells Windows 10 as a service, which means Windows 10 will be updated regularly with new features, security fixes etc.,   Windows 10 for existing WP8.1 phones will be launching for public in December(already out on 950,950 XL and 550). At time of writing this answer Windows 10 Build 10586.29 is released for PC and the same version is available for Phones under windows insider program.

What is the Advantage of having both Windows 10 mobile and Windows 10 PC?

  1. Consistent User Experience:
    You got same Live tiles on PC as well as your Phone, you can use same apps on your windows 10 devices, for ex: I use Outlook Mail, MSN Weather, News, Money etc apps, which are specifically written to run on both PC and Phones, this concept is termed as Universal Windows Apps.
  2. Windows Devices talks to each other:
    Your Windows Phone works in sync with your PC, for me this is the biggest plus point! check these screenshots.
    The below picture shows Action center of my Windows 10 PC, I had used an app called "Action Note" and created a note.


    When I open my Phone's Action Center, the same note is already present!

    This is one of the field where Windows stands out against Android, though you can make Android notifications to pop up on PC with the help of some third party softwares, those were never as good as what Microsoft has implemented now.
What about Apps? Many Apps are not present on Windows!
          Yes! this is absolutely true! There are lot of Apps missing, No Snapchat, official app of Instagram sucks, Facebook Universal App is still in beta, Twitter app for phone missing lot of features and what not! But Windows is one such platform where some 3rd party Apps outshines the official Apps, for ex: 6Tag a 3rd party instagram client is arguably the best insta App on any platform. Facebook has already announced that they are bringing Universal Apps of Facebook and Instagram to the windows, infact Universal Apps created a momentum in Windows community, here is the App by Propellerhead (Creators of popular Digital Audo Workstation 'Reason') called "Figure" which enables the users to create music on the go without prior musical knowledge, the same App is available on PC.


Conclusion:
All I can suggest is fix your priorities, do you want to use snapchat, instagram or trendy Apps like Dubsmash? want App updates to be available quickly? do you use Google services? Then you should get Android!

Use Microsoft services like Outlook, Office etc? want consistent and easy to understand UX? can live without snapchat? enjoy XBOX branded games? interested in photography? then "Welcome to Windows!"
