I've gone back and forth.  I'm definitely more Star Trek at the moment. 
When I was a kid before Star Wars, obviously Star Trek.  But Star Wars 
was so big and impressive it won me over for a long time.

Philosophically I prefer Star Trek as they always try to portray a 
better future, even if it's filled with existential threats, the 
Federation is way better than anything we have now in how it's 
governance treats their own people, and people treat each other.  It's 
also had a far greater effect on our own society.

It's also much less Fantasy than SW.  Sure it's got fantastic Sci-Fi in 
it, but SW is Fantasy with spaceified naval & air battles, and trappings 
of Sci-Fi.

I'm still salty that after the newer reboot ST movies all the phasers 
are pew pew blasters though.
