DC's better, though. They have the icons. Aside from Spider-Man, Marvel doesn't really have anybody that everybody knows, regardless of age. Wolverine, Iron Man, and Captain America just can't compete with the history of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Flash.

Marvel makes better movies but DC makes better comics, cartoons, games (thanks solely to Batman's Arkham games but still..), and toys.

You sure about that? i've seen so many people say they mostly read Marvel comics and the only DC comic they read is Batman.

Alot of people like that Marvel's Universe is more down-to-earth compared to DC's God-filled Universe.

Really, on any given day, both companies suck but then they pull out an occasional amazing story.  Some characters are consistently good, though. Marvel started that "down-to-earth" trend with Spider-Man but then DC copied.  Now both companies have a pretty good balance of myth (Cap is a legendary soldier, Batman's more myth than man, Superman/Thor/Wonder Woman are gods, etc.).

It was  a personal preference.  I grew up on Avengers but I became a DC fan in the 90's and never looked back.  I used to read a pretty good balance of both before the hobby got too expensive.
