I still say the Fleet will find that the Earth is all used up and abandoned...
I love both shows, but if I had make a choice between the two, Firefly would win.

I like Both, because their both very, very good Sci Fi. Both lead the way into a new way of thinking and producing sci fi shows (also BSG is the only one AT THE MOMENT set on a spaceship 
)
Oh, and everyone knows about the Firefly in the Mini Series?

I dont like BSG. I've seen it before I saw Firefly and I was bored really. I know this show is very nice, but I couldnt find smth intresting of it. There isnt any character that i like. And the BSG verse is too much dark for me. So i pick Firefly indeed

I have the first season of BSG on DVD, and the first (and only, sob!)season of Firefly on DVD.
Sat down and watched all the episodes of Firefly. They are great. A whole heap'o laughs, and a bunch of drama. Great acting from everyone. Wonderful dialog.
Sat down and watched the episodes of BSG. They are great. Very thrilling. Lots of stuff going on, great acting from all but a couple of the crew (and we all know who they are..). Wonderful dialog.
But, you know, here is the thing; much as I enjoyed both when I first watched them, I can still go back to the Firefly episodes and enjoy them again. But when I put the BSG DVD back in I get halfway through an episode and I start to get....restless.
I don't really know what the difference is, but I think it has something to do with the lack of humour in BSG and the fact that the characters are so...so...unlikeable.
Apart from Baltar, of course, who has real charisma.
But all the Firefly crew have charisma.
Even Simon.
So I guess that's why I want to revisit them time and time again. And why I don't really want to revisit old BSG episodes again.
Cheers,
Johnboy

Completely agree with Johnboy.
You can watch the Firefly episodes over and over and still pick up something new. With BSG you watch it you have seen it, although I must admit I really liked season 2.
It has to be Firefly for me, waiting patiently for it's return.
Why have they taken the sky from ME

September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Certainly, Johnboy nailed it, even as for disliking the BSG characters (even Starbuck can be obnoxious) but adoring each of the Serenity crew, even Book!
"Apart from Baltar, of course, who has real charisma.

I'm on a BSG list and just suggested that Sean Maher should be the next new cast member because he would make a great Cylon!
But James Callis is the star of Battlestar as far as I'm concerned. The rest of the cast are just backdrop for the Baltar-Six drama. And now the Six-Baltar drama.
But to answer the question, Firefly is by far the best sci-fi show ever done. It is rich, multi-layered and each viewing is as fun and fresh as the last.
