Qt Quick is intended as the replacement for QGraphicsView, so QGV is not getting much development/bug-fixing attention, and the gesture framework has some issues.  So you're probably better off using QML unless you just want to reuse old code without writing much more.  Touch and gesture support in Qt Quick also has issues when you try to do more advanced kinds of interaction, but at this point those issues are more likely to get fixed.  It's quite easy to get started with QML in any case.
