For me, RE4 was terribly disappointing since it ditched just about everything I loved about the originals, and could no longer remotely be called survival horror. But as it got such inexplicable acclaim (presumably by people who previously didn't like the series?) we can expect more of the same from RE5.
As for Silent Hill, I always found the original to be ever so slightly superior to the best Resident Evil (RE2), which itself, I should add, is one of my favourite games ever. The way Silent Hill created such an unforgivingly terrifying atmosphere is, I believe, unrivalled to this day. However, I have not played the later ones (although I intend to before SH5 arrives) and I don't therefore know how far, if at all, the series has gone down hill.
I will in fact be getting both, but I have much higher anticipation for SH5. I suppose it's really down to what you want in a game since the two offer such different things now.
