I've only ever played CS about a dozen times at LAN parties and I hated it, the whole thing seemed too random to me. At the time I was an avid Action Quake 2 player and that action seemed 'solid'. CS always struck me as seemingly random - I'd be 2 feet away from someone, crouching and firing point blank and nothing would hit them. AQ2 was much more solid. The community I played with in AQ2 was also much better, we had fun rather than saying 'haha got you f4g!1' comments.
But I do play CS:S a lot now and I like it enough to keep playing. It seems more solid than CS but still not quite as good as AQ2. I think the graphics are fantastic and the world seems fairly lively - turtles and barrels and bottles go flying, it's all good stuff.
So I vote for CS:S.
