I don't like either trilogy over the other. But I think overall I enjoy the PT movies more then the OT movies, based solely because ANH is my least favorite of all the movies.
My order is:
1. ROTJ
2. ROTS
3. ESB
4. AOTC
5. TPM
6. ANH
So really I don't have a preferred trilogy. But I prefer to think of them not as two separate trilogies, but rather a whole saga.
As Anomally has written, each movie has its pros and cons. I consider Revenge of the Sith to be the 2nd best movie due to it's spectacular graphics and fight scenes. However, the acting and storyline is not much at all compared to the OT's Empire Strikes Back.
The idiosyncrasies of the PT is to often flaunt the advanced moviemaking graphics, while the OT is often to show the interaction of characters and the epic storyline at hand.
Overall, this is why I consider the movies to be in this order:
1.) ESB
2.) ROTS
3.) ROTJ
4.) AOTC
5.) ANH
6.) TPM
EDIT: So taking the movies in this order, I presume I prefer the OT better since I rank them overall better. However, Revenge of the Sith outclasses all of them except Empire Strikes Back.

Tarkin was awesome to watch, as was "What a wonderful smell you've discovered". The battle against the Death Star was also fantastic, yet apart from that I find it rather boring. The cantina scene really annoys me as well, so overall I rank it last.
Indeed there are parts that are VERY good about it, as a matter of fact it might have my favorite scene in ALL of SW, the scene with Vader and Tarkin when Vader says "I find you lack of faith disturbing" I love that line, and I love that scene. As well, all the stuff at the beginning of ANH I love, because it ties into ROTS so well now (and the PT) I love the part with Luke and Ben in Ben's hut. Awesome scene. And the Death star battle was ok, but not in comparison to the other movies large scale action scenes. The problem is that almost everything else I just find boring when compared to the rest of the movies. ANH is still a damn good movie though, just when compared to the likes of ESB, ROTJ and ROTS its a borefest.
What, ppl dindn't like ANH!? I have never heard that from a sw fan before. Sure it has less action and worse saber duels compared to the otehrs but it's THE Original! And it has alot of good lines, and Obi-Wan is awesome in it! The Cantina Bar music and scene, the Death Star, the space battle at the beginning! I LOVE that stuff!
