I would definitly choose Andengine. Cocos2D for Android is yet too buggy.

I'm using AndEngine for one of my projects, and I must say, it's rather nice. A little comparision between LibGDX and AndEngine:

1) AndEngine

Only for Android.
High level, you propably won't need any direct calls for GL functions.
Quite easy to learn, and to code with.
There are versions (source) for OpenGL ES 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0 (with support for shaders)

2) LibGDX

Multiplatform (http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/)
You will be able test your code directly on PC
Harder to learn

The question is, do you need the LibGDX platform freedom, or maybe you are making project only for Android?

Also, look at that nice list of Android engines here.

AndEngine was specifically designed for coding-efficiency, libGDX gives you a little more freedom but requires a little more work. So LibGDX allows you to the low-level stuff easier, which is a little harder to do in AndEngine.

I think cocos2d-android is not an active project like cocos2d-iphone and cocos2d-x . It haven't been updated for quite a long time.
