Rajendranagar is in South Hyderabad; Banjara Hills is in Central Hyderabad — they serve different office clusters. Professionals working in the South belt will almost always find Rajendranagar faster; those in the Central corridor should favour Banjara Hills.

Rajendranagar has the clear rent advantage — ₹33,000 cheaper per month for 2BHK.
