I think there are good and bad things about both games. I would probably tend to agree more with KOTOR2, because while the story lacks a decent ending, it is less black and white than KOTOR1. I also like being able to influence your party, but (and this may be just me) I liked how in the first game you learnt the background of the other characters progressivly, for me it made it more intruiging (well, the FIRST time you play anyway). I suppose this is true for the second one, but with characters like Atton, his history is blurted out in one long dialogue sequence on Nar Sharda. (sp ><")
