Star Trek. There hasn't any decent star wars content since the early 80's (except the OLD Cartoon Network series), and Roddenberry was smart enough to allow others to handle his franchise rather than running it into the ground like Lucas. If you had asked me in the mid-90's? I would have said Star Wars all the way. But combine a continued movie franchise with an excellent series (The Next Generation and even DS9), and I think Star Trek wins by attrition.

George has deminished his own work to the point it is losing it's mystique over time, IMO. Enterprise almost gave us similiar results, but I think Abrams' movie is going to put the nail in the coffin in this argument.
