The Pilot is superior, without a doubt.

BDM hands down. The pilot is great and all but it's only a piece of a bigger story. If I have to go with a stand alone 2 hours of the verse then the BDM wins easily.
I think the pilot stands alone better than the movie does. You don't have to know anything about the 'verse to appreciate the pilot but I know several people who saw Serenity and, though they liked it, they didn't understand why it was such a big deal that that preacher guy died and had other problems with putting things in context.
I vote for the pilot but I have to disagree with the browncoat who said that the BDM is inferior to the worst episode of the series. Worse than Heart of Gold? Really?
If JewelStaitFan's last numbers are right then we're now at 34 for the pilot and 6 for the BDM.
I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

I can not not love them both, and it's hard for me to choose. I loved how the Pilot introduced all the characters beautifully, and how significant each member was to the crew. I also loved the BDM because, for me, it strengthened the pilot episode, especially on Miranda when Mal is giving is speech about how each came on this ship for different reasons, but we all need to stay together-or something like that (though I will admit that I missed Book in that scene).

The pilot seemed more original in it's visual storytelling from the 'gritty look' that was portrayed through David Boyd's cheap camera lenses to the locations that were chosen to shoot on. Now don't get me wrong, I do love the BDM, but I would love it more if it didn't have as many similarities to the animated flick TITAN A.E. Not only does it have a similar back story, as well as the characters and the environments, but also some of the action sequences were 'cookie cuttered' from that film and placed into the BDM. Well, 2 of the 3 screen writers for that film were Joss Whedon and Ben Edlund, so that probably explains it.

Definately the Pilot Serenity for me.
