I was a HUGE fan of both of these bands back in the day and still like them both.
Megadeth has some good songs here and there, but not really any great full albums IMHO... except for "Rust in Peace", which is one of the greatest albums of all time from anyone, ever.
I can understand some people not being real big on Maiden because of the howling vocals, the weaker later albums, etc. But their guitar harmonies and solos are fantastic and from the self titled debut album all the way to Seventh Son, they are one of my favorite bands.
