I don't think we're in any position to know who would be a better judge. Sure there's a difference in success but Demi is not the flop everyone seems hellbent on making her out to be. Being able to give relevant advice and critiques is independent of level of fame when the gap isn't that large between the two. Just look at The Voice and American Idol judges. Very successful artists. Terrible at advice and critiques 90% of the time.
I think Selena would've made a good judge, but I think it would not have been wise to have two judges with lackluster vocals from an outside standpoint. Although Demi hasn't had the same success, she has the talent, stage presence, and knowledge to help guide. People forget that she's performed for huge crowds of people all across the world. We get so wrapped up in fame and the charts that we can't see past that. The layman knows no difference between Selena and Demi.
Having an eye for talent and being able to mold it is independent of being the flavor of the month.
