IWD1 for the better story and the expansions. I particularly love TOTL. I just completed another run thru IWD1+HOW+TOTL, just so I could play TOTL again.
IWD2 for the ruleset and some of the great battles. There really weren't all that many great big battles in the IWD1 saga.
While there's something to the flexibility of the IWD2 ruleset, I just played an elven fighter/mage in my IWD1 party and I seriously doubt that I'd have been able to play a similar character in IWD2.
(I almost completely ignored her spellcasting in combat until after I was able to get Kaylessa's elven chain from the Severed Hand, so that she could cast a few spells without taking off her armor. Prior to that, it was plate armor for the F/M. BTW, she was my dedicated backup mage and archer, as well as 4th tank. A very flexible character, indeed.)
